The behavior of buying when the price is predicted to rise and waiting until the right price before selling, or selling when the price is predicted to fall and waiting until the right price and then buying is called speculation
A speculator is someone who does the things mentioned above! ! ~
Speculation is more difficult than investing, and speculation is not a derogatory word~ It is a neutral word~ It is mostly used in futures trading~
But "speculation" is not a good word~ Haha

For example, futures speculation:
When you predict that soybean futures will fall in the future, you can first sell 10 tons of soybeans. If the price of soybean futures really falls after 3 months, you Buy another 10 tons of soybeans before the delivery period to hedge and you will make a profit
