- To speculate — To practice agiotage; to engage in speculative stock market operations based on the fluctuations of share, bond, or currency rates to secure a quick and often illicit profit. In a structural and historical sense, the action describes the artificial manipulation of the market by exploiting differences between the nominal and commercial value of credit securities.
- Agiotor — A person who practices stock speculation or agiotage; a financial operator or speculator who aims to secure fast and substantial profits by exclusively exploiting the fluctuations in share, bond, or currency rates. In a structural economic sense, the term is synonymous with 'agiotagiu', retaining the same critical or pejorative connotation linked to the artificial destabilization of market values.
- Arbitrageur — A physical person or legal entity (financial operator, broker, trader, or legal specialist) who performs arbitration or arbitrage operations on capital, currency, or commodity markets, exploiting simultaneous price differentials between two markets to obtain a risk-free profit. In a secondary legal sense, the term can describe a specialist or theorist in international arbitration.
