No -- you should get Webster's out an look up speculate ... speculate doesn't mean just to take risks -- yes banks take risks, but I don't want to do business with one that speculates

>>3. (Com.) To purchase with the expectation of a contingent advance in value, and a consequent sale at a profit; -- often, in a somewhat depreciative sense, of unsound or hazardous transactions; as, to speculate in coffee, in sugar, or in bank stock.
