We electrocute the Italian and print pictures of the wheat speculator in our magazines as an example of Success. |
Wherever he could get his hands on a speculator or extortioner, he shook him up. |
But someone needs to take the other side of the bargain, and that usually requires a speculator. |
Anyone else who's trying to figure out when rates will rise is most likely a speculator, and that grousing can safely be ignored. |
The speculator is betting on changes in the price, while the arbitrageur is betting on changes in the spread. |
For example, a wheat farmer who does not grow corn may report gains or losses with respect to any transaction in corn futures as a speculator. |
