English term or phrase: second-guessing speculators

Από κείμενο ομιλίας, με αντικείμενο την αντιμετώπιση της οικονομικής κρίσης:

... we need to lock honesty, transparency and the rule of law into the financial system. Reform of global financial institutions is necessary too, to stop current account surpluses and excess liquidity fuelling global boom and bust.

We need the IMF to fill that role. Can it assemble more assets with increased access to crisis funds? Should it become a real asset manager for parts of the global savings pool, ***second-guessing speculators***, preventing panic, stabilising markets? How can we reform its decision-making structures to reflect the demand for more democratic oversight and the power of emerging economies?

Η έκφραση και σε άλλο κείμενο, ως παράδειγμα:

Consensus expectations are betting that China will slump as its exports fall. Our investment in commodity stocks has been based on supply being surprisingly tight (still the case) and demand being structurally higher due to the infrastructure investment cycle in China (and other large emerging economies such as India). All the companies which are directly exposed to Chinese infrastructure spending still confirm strong demand. So, as yet, there is no evidence to undermine us. Commodity spot prices are partly determined by marginal demand and supply, partly by ***second guessing speculators***, so they can’t be relied on to give a clear signal at the moment. Hence we will have to wait some months more, for clearer evidence to emerge. For the moment our commodity investments remain.
