I think this is the term used in Albanian Faculty of Economy.

Sometimes when they show the stock market on the news, it does look like there's a bunch of animals on the trading floor. The stock market does get it's name from animals. People used to, and still do, gather together to sell their livestock, so livestock, eh? Get it?

As far as bears and bulls running around ... no. When your brother talks about bears, he's describing the latest stock market trend. "Bear" means bad, as far as stocks prices are concerned. A bear market is when stocks are going down. You can also call the market "bearish". A "bull" market on the other hand means that stocks are on the way up, which is good news. "Bullish" is a good word to use then.

I don't know where the terms came from, but now you know that it's just stock market insider slang.
A bull market: prices are going up. A bear market: prices are falling. Anyone know the origin of these phrases?


BEAR/BULL MARKETS -- “Two terms often used for stock-market traders are ‘bull’ and ‘bear.’ A ‘bull’ is someone who buys securities or commodities in the expectation of a price rise, or someone whose actions make such a price rise happen. A ‘bear’ is the opposite – someone who sells securities or commodities in expectation of a price decline. By extension both terms are used as adjectives, so a ‘bull’ market is rising in value, while a ‘bear’ market is declining… The ‘bear’ came first. A proverb that has been in use at least since the seventeenth century points out that it is not wise ‘to sell the bear’s skin before one has caught the bear.’ By the eighteenth century the term ‘bear-skin’ apparently from this proverb, was being used in the phrase ‘to sell the bear-skin’ or ‘to buy the bear-skin.’ The ‘bear-skin’ element was shortened to ‘bear,’ and ‘bear’ was then applied to stock that was being sold by a speculator…In 1720 England was rocked by a scandal known as the South Sea Bubble. This was a protracted scheme involving the South Sea Company…The term ‘bear,’ meaning the person who sells stock in expectation of a price decline, as well as the stock so sold, had been in use prior to the breaking of the South Sea Bubble. However, since this type of selling was used by many people involved in the scandal, the South Sea affair brought 'bear' into widespread use. At about the same time the other animal symbol made its appearance. The term ‘bull’ originally meant a speculative purchase in the expectation that stock prices would rise. Its earliest use was in 1714, and the word ‘bull’ seems to have been chosen as a fitting alter ego to ‘bear.’ Thus Alexander Pope wrote in 1720: ‘Come fill the South Sea goblet full;/ The gods shall of our stock take care:/ Europa pleased accepts the full,/ And Jove with joy puts off the bear.’ The animal imagery caught on and has stayed with us.” “Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories: Fascinating Stories About Our Living, Growing Language” (Merriam-Webster, Springfield, Mass., 1991).

Ka përmbajtje humori por gjithashtu edhe një shpjegim shumë të qartë të termit.

treg ne renie verifikohet kur ekonomia e vendit peson nje ndryshim i cili reflektohet ne burse,ne vleren e kembimit,dhe ne fuqine blerese qe ne kete rast zvogelohet,ndersa treg ne ngritje verifikohet kur faktoret e sipermendur pesojne nje rritje qe eshte e dukshme

Nuk e di se cfare ndodhi me sistemin. Por me lart desha te mos bie dakort me pergjigjen nga Matthew sepse ne shqip nuk themi "ngjitje" por "ngritje" dhe per pergjigjen e Rolandit nuk kam ndonje koment. Nuk e di pse sistemi me bera ca numra.

Sqarim ne lidhje me perdorimin e termave \"ngjitje\" dhe \"ngritje\"

ngjitje - kuptimi figurativ i ketij termi eshte \"zhvillim drejt nje shkalle me te larte\". Kuptimi konotativ pozitiv eshte \"permiresim\"

ngritje - kuptim denotativ i ketij termi eshte \"zhvillim drejt nje shkalle me te larte\" dhe per kete behet fjale ne kontekstin tone.

Ne perdorimin e perditshem flasim per ngritje çmimesh dhe jo ngjitje çmimesh dhe si rezultat per ulje/ngritje tregu.

Per veshin e shqiptarit \"ngjitje tregu\" tingellon e huaj gje qe vertetohet nga fakti se folesit e gjuhes amtare qe kane dhene pergjigje ketu kane perdorur \"ngritje\" dhe jo \"ngjitje\"
