Mr. Nyberg spoke to the speculators. He said "speculation" so he spoke to the speculators. I am curious to learn whether they were aware of the social downside of their speculation. Would Mr. Nyberg say it is fair to put an ordinary worker buying a home, a human necessity, on the same level as a bank speculator? He seems to do so.
