Glossary

A bull market is a period when stock prices rise consistently, usually by at least 20% from recent lows, driven by strong investor confidence, economic growth, and positive market sentiment. 📈

Bull markets can last for months or even years, and they're generally associated with increased investment activity and optimism in the financial markets.

For example, the period from 2009 to early 2020 was a historic bull market, with stock prices reaching record highs due to economic expansion and low interest rates.

Fun fact: The term "bull market" comes from the way bulls thrust their horns upward when attacking. 🐂 This contrasts with a "bear market," where stock prices are falling, and the term originates from the downward swipe of a bear's paw during an attack.
