By definition, aggressive stocks are ones that offer higher returns than conservative and relatively safer stocks, at the cost of a higher risk. Typically, aggressive stocks include small-cap and micro-cap stocks of companies that are targeting a specific niche and stocks of companies that are at the early stages of the business cycle. Aggressive investing is an endeavor which shouldn’t be taken lightly even though it provides opportunities for substantial returns as it also exposes the investors to bigger than usual losses if things don’t pan out as per expectations.

There is potential meat on the bones for investors that are willing to take on risk in the current environment. The macroeconomic conditions in the United States are expected to take a turn for the better with declining rate of inflation (compared to the last year) and potential interest rate cuts this year. After a dovish pivot in recent past, the United States Federal Reserve earlier this month maintained its view of three interest rate cuts by the end of the year. Lowering interest rates are generally a good omen for small-cap stocks and companies in the early stages of business cycle.
