Definition1/9
Banks were taking major financial risks, including investing in
stocks and bonds. At that time, there were few limits, and fewer
regulations, to require banks to be cautious or to protect their
customers' money. When the stock market crashed in 1929, many of
the banks that had not set aside enough capital to cover their
losses in case of an emergency found themselves out of money and
had to close; their customers, who in most cases had no idea the
banks were making risky investments, also lost everything.
