If that's not speculation, then I don't have a clue what is?
Speculating stocks will crash, in such a way as to contribute to that likelihood is one thing.
Speculating stocks will soar, is not “speculation”.
It is optimism.
I'm not talking about daytraders. I'm talking about people who have faith in this plan working long term.
Getting in at a low price if you believe in something is not necessarily speculation. Millions of homeowners have done that as well.
