Speculators are people who buy and sell goods, stocks and shares or bonds with the purpose of making profit with the variation of their value. They are not interested in the economic situation of the companies or the States that sell bonds. They are only focused on getting big profit margins. They play dangerous games, assuming great risks, but they also can put the economies of entire countries at serious risk. They move huge amounts of money from one stock market to another, betting on some values and provoking the collapse of some others. They use the stock exchange markets as casinos. The worst thing is that this is perfectly legal.
Here you have some cartoons that can help you to understand how speculators behave:

Very interesting way of making the pupils think in these so serious times. I feel good when I see your work at classroom. Congratulations!
Hello Elisa. Thanks for your opinion. The students are a little lazy lately and they are not cooperating as they should, but I think the ones who have real interest in improving can use this website to learn more.
Thanks for the prezi.com link. I´ll try to learn how to use when I have more time. We´re having the assessment sesions this week and I don´t have time to surf the net. Regards for Toledo.
