I always thought that when a lot of money chases few goods, price increases(inflation). Calling it speculation implies that the prices are eventually going to go down one day which they arent.

WIN stands for Work Is Nonprofit!! Why people can't boil things down to something really simple I'll never understand... Learn to trade well, it's the only way out for most of us!!
