What is speculation? how does speculation occur? what role did the speculation play in the great depression?

1) The forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. Or, investment in stocks, property, or other ventures in the hope of gain but with the risk of loss.

2) Speciation occurs when two or more populations become so genetically distinct that they no longer interbreed with one another. There are multiple ways this can occur. The natural ways speciation can occur are allopatric, parapatric, and sympatric speciation.

3) Before the Great Depression, there were limited regulations that governed the stock market. Investors were able to speculate wildly and buy stocks on margin or using borrowed money. ... The poor policies that governed the stock market proved to be another of the causes of the Great Depression.

I think 1 and 2 might be wrong but, hope it helped!
