Pop quiz...which would u rather b?...a great speculator or a great trader?

I think "Great Speculator" has a more impressive ring to it. But I'd settle for just "Great"! <g>

Wouldn't a great Trader also be a great Speculator?

How about just a "good" trader? That's fine for me. I think about all the "good" athletes that don't make it to greatness (i.e their respective Hall of Fame ... NBA, NFL, baseball ...). These guys bat .285 in baseball, average 15 points a game in the NBA, etc. Not superstars, but just getting to the pros and have reasonable success isn't too shabby.
