Agiotor
Definition
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.
