2 Remote Contracting Jobs in Financial Services Simultaneously?

I currently work remotely as a contract temp (indefinitely) at a large bank as a business analyst building risk computation engines on the tech side.

I have just received another remote contract temp offer (6 months) at an investment firm (think Blackrock) building data analytics platforms.

I have no discretion over trading or investment decisions. 

My thinking is I can:

1) get 2x income for around 40-50 hours of work a week

2) hedge against losing job

3) gain full time work at the investment manager

Is this a terrible/great/smart/risky idea?
