Nowadays, stock is very hot in China; most people mention it in daily life. If you watch
the news at all, you have probably also noticed that the prices rise and fall each day.
There are many words to describe the falling and rising of the stock market in English,
and the words can be used differently as the different degree of down and up. In this
article, I’ll explain the words of describing the stock market in different stages: up
(bleak prospect)—adjustment(uncertainty prospect)—down(bright prospect).
