bull

Bull refers to having a positive outlook on a particular security or an investment.

For example if an analyst is "Bullish" on the US dollar, it means that the analyst believes the currency will appreciate. Bullish is used in contrast with bearish which connotes a negative point of view.

The entomology of expression "bull" derives from the male bovine. Bulls, the male counterpart to the cow, are known for their aggressiveness and sharp horns.
