👉 A person who invests money in a speculative or uncertain financial market, often with the intention of profiting from sudden and unexpected gains. Speculators are commonly found among individuals who have invested in stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities, or other types of investments that involve uncertainty or lack of certainty. They can be characterized by their high risk tolerance, quick decision-making, and a tendency to bet on short-term fluctuations rather than the underlying strength of an investment.
