Optimistic view
When someone says they’re ‘Bullish’, it means they have a positive or optimistic outlook about something. It’s a term commonly used in two areas – finance and fantasy sports.
In the finance world, investors use ‘Bullish’ to express their confidence in stocks they believe will go up in value. If they think a particular stock is going to do well, they’re ‘Bullish’ on it. On the other hand, if they think a stock is going to drop in price, they’re ‘Bearish’ on it.
In fantasy sports, owners of teams use the term ‘Bullish’ to show their high expectations for a player or team. If they think a player or team is going to perform well, they’re ‘Bullish’ on them. But if they expect poor performance, they’re ‘Bearish’ on them.
Example for using ‘Bullish’ in a conversation
