Aggressively

Aggressively

Used in context of general equities. For a customer it means working to buy or sell one's stock, with an emphasis on execution over price. For a trader it means acting in a way that puts the firm's capital at higher risk through paying a higher price, selling cheaper, or making a larger short sale or purchase than the trader would under normal circumstances.

Aggressively

Describing an act or strategy of investing that takes higher risks in order to achieve higher returns. An aggressive strategy often seeks to invest in young industries with high growth potential, rather than low-risk, low-yield bonds. For example, during a market bubble, aggressive investors are more likely to make speculative investments than buy Treasury notes.
