Simply put - Speculating is a big fancy word for the very act of betting on whether a commodities price will rise or fall. It is a legalized form of betting and the author here is quite correct in stating that speculation keeps market segments liquid. It IS the actual act of trading. And while rampant speculation may drive short term price fluctuations (as they've always done) - The very real consequences of a devalued dollar by way of borrowing to pay for an intractable war is far and away the true culprit for why things cost more. Anything else is a distraction and dare I say "speculation"?

People are idiots. Every time there is a crisis they look to government to solve it. No wonder government has grown into a money-sucking behemoth!
