STOCKS
Higher risk
Higher potential return
If you have many years until retirement, experts agree that an aggressive investment approach makes sense. There's more risk of year-to-year fluctuations in the value of your investments, but the potential for high long-term returns is also greater. It's appropriate if you have 15 years or more until retirement.
Aggressive investors seeking higher levels of reward, in return for a higher level of risk, tend to invest in the stock market.

When you buy stocks, you're buying partial ownership in a company or companies. Stocks are considered to be a higher risk because the value of the money you put in can go up and down on a daily basis. However, as the chart shows, stocks have tended, over time, to earn more than conservative or moderate investments.
