Today's stock market is as unpredictable as that of any time in modern history. Using that as a jumping off point, Kurt goes on to explore the terminology of BULL and BEAR as applied to the stock market, in this short essay likely composed at one sitting around 1980. "It is, then, in the constellations that we see the transference from bull-orientation (Cowboy, Cowherd) to bear-orientation, which is northern (arctic)." At once informative and amusing, it's typical of Kurt's way of seeing the world as theater.
