Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Speculation replaces fact. It's very easy to see news outlets running with information that is unconfirmed or erroneous.
Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.
You want to know the way to raise money? Put a transaction fee on Wall Street, so maybe we can curb some of the speculation and raise some money.
Establishing a 0.03 percent Wall Street speculation fee, similar to what we had from 1914-1966, would dampen the dangerous level of speculation and gambling on Wall Street, encourage the financial sector to invest in the productive economy and reduce the deficit by more than $350 billion over 10 years.
But the system of prices ruling the market not only transmits information in the light of which economic agents can mutually adjust their actions, it also provides them with an incentive to exercise economy in terms of money.
Most investors give too much credence to the theory that prices are rational; they presume that a market collapse must have been justified by serious economic trouble.
I can never predict what the markets will do. Sometimes it does the exact opposite of what I would have expected.
Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting.
I'm not much into speculation.
For the merchant, even honesty is a financial speculation.
