The New York Stock Exchange, spanning an area of 3,240 square meters, is the largest stock trading market in the world and is located in the prime area of Wall Street, New York. It employs 3,000 people. Every day, stock purchases and sales are conducted through on-site auctions, but large volumes of stocks are also traded in electronic markets. In fact, due to its high trading volume, the NASDAQ has become the fastest-growing stock market in the United States. Perhaps it wouldn’t surprise anyone if artist William Beard included the symbols of the bull and the bear in his painting of the New York Stock Exchange in 1879. The use of the bull and the bear to describe investors and the stock market has a history of at least two hundred years. Have you always wondered where the bull and the bear in bull markets and bear markets come from?
