The
bull is an ancient
symbol of male power and virility, representing
creative power. Hence, a
charging
bull, as this one on
The Bund in Shanghai
(fig.),
has become the
informal
icon of the stock exchange,
symbolizing the strength and power of the people, i.e. the power to create
wealth, yet it over time also became the symbol of the infamous aggressive
character of the financial market.
