To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is just here that the speculator comes in. He trades purely on these fluctuations which occur in a single market (or in all markets at the same time). If he is a speculator on the Chicago Board of Trade, he buys wheat in Chicago for delivery at some future time in Chicago, if he expects the price to rise, or he sells short for delivery at some future time if he expects the price to fall. It is not the difference between the price of wheat in Chicago and Liverpool that interests him, so much ...as the difference in price between May and September. Now the question is whether this is a moral or justifiable thing for him to do. Does he do any good to anyone, or perform any service to the busi- ness world by such transactions; or is he merely a parasite who has arisen because of these dangerous fluctuations? To answer that, you must first recognize that he is at least a product of these conditions; that is, speculation of a professional kind is the result of very actual risks of price fluc- tuation in the markets of the world.
