bulls
Herd of males
Bulls is the plural of bull—the intact adult male of cattle and certain other large mammals like elephants, moose, and whales.
In finance, bulls are investors who expect prices to rise, buying in anticipation of gains: The bulls are betting on a market rebound.
Bull markets rise; bear markets fall.
Bulls can also mean papal decrees or official documents sealed with a bulla.
As slang, bulls means nonsense or lies: That's complete bulls. (Capitalized Bulls refers to sports teams, especially the Chicago Bulls.)
