颜色

由于文化和国家不同,股市的代表颜色也是大不同喔!在台股市场红色代表涨、绿色代表跌,但美国就没这么多缤纷,主要只有红色,而且代表的是恰恰相反的跌:

dip / end in the red

bleeding red (adj.)

Airline stocks has been bleeding red for the past few months.
航空股在过去几周都是持续下跌的状态。

牛市 & 熊市

华尔街外有两只牛和熊的铜像,各代表了什么意思呢?

bull market 牛市,代表景气佳

bear market 熊市,代表景气差

From 2010 to 2019, stock market in Taiwan had been a long-term bull market. However, it came to an end in early 2020 because of the coronavirus.
2010到2019年间,台湾的股市景气持续看好;然而2020年初由于冠状病毒的关系,已经结束了多头的走势。

投资买卖有赚有赔,投资自己则是稳赚不赔,趁现在宅在家躲避疫情的空档,多充实一下自己的英文实力,以便疫情结束后一飞冲天吧!
