Question 96 / 96:  In common discussions, what is the difference between an investor and a speculator in stocks?
Answer: 

People typically think of an investor as someone who intends to

hold a stock for a long time either as part of a general strategy

or because the company seems dependable. A speculator, on

the other hand, is someone who looks to get in and out relatively

quickly, after an anticipated price move.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

A speculator thinks the original price of the stock is wrong.
