Speculator is a person who trades derivatives, commodities, bonds, equities or currencies with a higher than average risk in return for a higher-than-average profit potential. Speculators take large risks, especially with respect to anticipating future price movements, in the hope of making quick, large gains. People like these will always be around and we have to learn to be better. Speculators take advantage of what others have created just to have it easier for them and like the post said they just ride the wave.
