Have you ever wondered why we describe the stock market using the animals: the bull and the bear? The most plausible story for it comes from animal fights in California, more specifically the fight between the Grizzly Bear and the Spanish Fighting Bull. Just think about the way they attack! Bulls attack in an upward motion, while bears attack in a downward motion - perfectly describing the way the stock market moves.
