speculator

Recounted travel writer H. Ellington Brook, “Everybody that could find an office went into the real-estate business ... a crowd of speculators settled down upon Los Angeles like flies upon a bowl of sugar.”

In the late 1800s, white settlers and speculators found ways to secure additional lands along the Klamath River where they could extract valuable redwood, in some cases by bribing U.S.

Initially, some speculators were concerned that homebuyers would be hesitant to purchase in an area that recently burned.

Meme coins are often used by speculators to make money or to allow fans to show support to a celebrity or moment in internet culture.

Early discussions on how to spend the money have included mental health services for first responders and survivors, training displaced workers for construction jobs, grants for the underinsured and land trusts to discourage speculators.
