๐๐๐Conservative or Aggressive is very much a personal style of investing. It depends on the risk appetite of an individual investor and the timeline.
I believe in striking a balance between the 2 styles. This means to strike when there is a great opportunity especially during Bear markets when quality stocks are on sale. But when the markets are Bullish, it is important to be cautious and take a conservative stance.
There is no right or wrong way, just an appropriate way to suit the market situation for me.
@Tiger_chat @TigerStars
personally, I would be more on the conservative side as it's always safer to play in safe especially when you do not know how the market will swing.
Personally, I consider myself as an aggressive investors as my investment mostly focus on the equities market. A quick sharing for thos who don't know what is the risk tolerance.
What Is Risk Tolerance?
Risk tolerance is the degree of risk that an investor is willing to endure given the volatility in the value of an investment. An important component in investing, risk tolerance often determines the type and amount of investments that an individual chooses.
Greater risk tolerance is often synonymous with investment in stocks, equity funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while lower risk tolerance is often associated with the purchase of bonds, bond funds, and income funds.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Risk tolerance is a measure of the degree of loss an investor is willing to endure within their portfolio.
- Stock volatility, market swings, economic or political events, and regulatory, or interest rate changes affect an investor's tolerance for risk.
- Age, investment goals, and income contribute to an investor's risk tolerance.
- An aggressive investor commonly has a higher risk tolerance and is willing to risk more money for the possibility of better, yet unknown, returns.
- A conservative investor commonly has a lower risk tolerance and seeks investments with guaranteed returns.
Aggressive Risk Tolerance
An aggressive investor, or one with a high-risk tolerance, is willing to risk losing money to get potentially better results.
Aggressive investors tend to be market-savvy with an understanding of the volatility of securities and follow strategies for achieving higher than average returns.
Their investments emphasize capital appreciation rather than income or preserving their principal investment. This investor's asset allocation commonly includes stocks and little or no allocation to bonds or cash.
Conservative Risk Tolerance
Conservative investors are willing to accept little to no volatility in their investment portfolios. Retirees or those close to retirement age are often included in this category as they may be unwilling to risk a loss to their principal investment and have a short-term investment strategy.
A conservative investor targets vehicles that are guaranteed and highly liquid. Risk-averse individuals commonly opt for bank certificates of deposit (CDs), money markets, or U.S. Treasuries for income and preservation of capital.
Some example, for aggressive investors, they tend to bet on the companies before the earnings results, aiming for a big gain if the result turns out to be impressive. However, the thing might go the other way and make you to suffer from a big losses. I believe many are betting with the following companies due to the fact that they are releasing their earnings this week : $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $Walt Disney(DIS)$ $Roblox Corporation(RBLX)$ . For some even more aggressive investors, they tend to catch falling knife and aim for a death cat rebound. If they are lucky enough, they can make big profit especially through meme stocks like $AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ $Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.(FFIE)$ . However, the risk is too high for me in this case.
How about you? Which type of investors are you?

probably mindful aggressive. personally I'm investing for the long term, not the near future. so buying the dip of good quality stocks to keep, a couple of slightly more volatile ones for trading & some safe ones for hedging
