In 1940, the artist, Margaret Nakhleh, succeeded in conveying the hysterical state in which the dealers lived, in her famous painting, the scene of the stock exchange, as a symbolic depiction of what happens inside any stock exchange anywhere in the world.
Where Margaret embodied a daily scene, represented by the fooling of people over money in a satirical comic vision, through stock market dealers, who gathered to search for a world of ups and downs in stock indexes in panic and intense movement.
We find it depicted these dealers stacked in compact circles that are similar to the circles of dancers, where the bodies are mixed with each other, with the circular impulsion rushing towards the center of the circle of money, to serve as a documentation of the stock exchange shape, the movement of money in circulation, and the state of anticipation.
Optimistic bull herd
Bull As a bold, decisive and aggressive animal, it expresses the forces of demand, the purchasing forces that drive prices to rise, so when the demand for a commodity is large, and many are willing to buy this commodity, the price of this commodity will rise quickly, and it is said that the market is controlled by bulls Who are pushing prices up.
Therefore, the optimistic herd of bulls is a large group of optimistic investors who believe that the prices of certain shares are on the rise, and they buy them out of greed and anticipation of earning a profit, and in this case, the veterans can make a profit by seizing the unbridled desire of the members of this group to buy these shares.
Pessimistic bears flock
Bear, as being more cautious, slow-moving and inactive, expresses the forces of supply, the selling forces that drive prices down, when the supply on a commodity is large, and many are willing to sell this commodity, its price will decrease quickly, and the market is said to be controlled by Bears. Sellers who are pushing prices down.
Hence, the pessimistic herd of bears is a large group of investors who believe that the prices of certain stocks are on the way to decline, offering them for sale, out of fear of loss, and here also veterans of stock market dealers can profit from the coordination of this group to offer their shares at low prices.
