Explain the difference between pure and speculative risk.

A pure risk is a risk with a chance of loss, but no chance or expectation of gain. A speculative risk, on the other hand, is one where there is a chance of both loss or gain. Another difference between the two is that pure risk is usually not assumed for its own sake. For example, one does not purchase a car expecting to lose it through theft or an accident. On the other hand, speculative risk is usually central to the risk taken on. Gambling is a type of speculative risk, and the gambler engages in this activity expecting to finish with more money than she/he started with. A business that opens a second location also assumes the risks of expanding a business fully expecting to generate more income for the business.
