Aggressive investors comprise a minority in the investor market, yet they rake in probably more than the combined yields of all conservative investors. If taking on such investing personality is so profitable, then why aren’t all investors aggressive?
Apparently, being aggressive has its boons and banes, and it depends on the investors’ personality if they have what it takes to face the challenges posed by this investment strategy. So before deciding to go hardline in taking the stock market plunge, prospective investors may want to learn about the multi-dimensional aspect of being an aggressive investor.
Investment goals
Aggressive investors tend to expect lucrative returns from their investments, especially in the short term. They are not that concerned about asset protection as much as taking profits.

Risk tolerance
Aggressive investors take risks as they come. They don’t really mind if the assets they spend capital on hold the possibility of crashing, as long as they promise large returns. This may be influenced by many factors, including the investor’s young age and an intense desire to accumulate wealth. The former is greatly determinant, as risk tolerance usually declines with age.
Ability to cope with uncertainty
Quite ironically, it’s the aggressive investors who are very “Zen” when it comes to investing. As they are very well aware of the market’s volatility, they don’t really panic when the markets crash. In fact, they view market crashes as an opportunity to leverage the “buy low, sell high” tactic, thus ensuring great rewards in the long run.
