No not at all. This is smart investing. Greed would be if you did nothing but looked after yourself with those profits (such as executives pillaging a company just to get their own personal bonuses and not caring about the shareholders, i know you have seen that happen)

Whether you are an individual or a corporation, the source of greed is not how much money you make after expenses; but, what you do with the extra after all your needs are met.

Expressed better than i ever could. Greed is selfish, true capitalism is a feedback loop helping others by providing them with a means to better themselves
