Bull Market?

This is a huge bronze bull located near Wall St. in New York City. He is quite a tourist attraction. I had to wait a few minutes to get a picture of him without someone sitting on him. The tour guide told us that he appeared one New Year's Day and the city didn't know who put it up. What would any normal city do about a mystery sculpture? They impounded him and took him away. He is HUGE! Today he is back for all to see.

Here is more info I found about him online:

Stock Market Bull Statue: Sometimes called “Charging Bull” or “Wall Street Bull,” this 7,000 pound bronze statue was made by New York City artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989 and illegally placed in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Di Modica decided to create the bull after Black Monday, October 19, 1987, the day of the largest 24-hour decline in recorded stock market history (the Dow Jones went down 22.6%). The police were called in to haul the bull away but public outcry was such that the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation made room for it in nearby Bowling Green Park, where it remains today.
