A 'bull' is any investor or firm which believes that the financial markets (or any asset within them) is going to rise in value. They are typically seen as the optimists of the financial world.

In the long term, the U.S. stock market has always risen on average so bulls are usually right in the very long term (as far as historical data shows us so far).
