Yeah, fair enough. Wikipedia has this, which I hadn’t found before:
> The terms come from London's Exchange Alley in the early 18th century, where traders who engaged in naked short selling were called "bear-skin jobbers" because they sold a bear's skin (the shares) before catching the bear. This was simplified to "bears," while traders who bought shares on credit were called "bulls." The latter term might have originated by analogy to bear-baiting and bull-baiting, two animal fighting sports of the time.
I replied to a comment about crypto whale pump and dump schemes in a threat about predicting crowd behaviour in reference to running of the bull festival, which happens to be, at least loosely, couple to the idea of a raging bull. Wall St has a raging bull sculpture.
I feel dumber having just written that out. Don't they teach reading comprehension at school any more?
Unfortunately, I don’t see any words here that describe the relation. I would appreciate if you could point them out to me so I can give my comprehension skills another go.
