A Speculator is a stock investor who buys shares in small companies which have the potential to significantly improve their financial position. Alternatively speculators buy stocks without consideration to the company’s financial position and focus solely on the stock price. Speculation is generally a high risk strategy that can also be extremely profitable. Speculators are primarily interested in short-term capital gains and usually only hold their positions for short time periods.
