I am 28 and would like to invest agressively in the stock market what should i do with 5000?

first of all, are you going to be ok if you lose all 5000 today?

if yes, then i'll tell you how to agressively invest in stock market

buy some CFC on the dip if it goes back below 5.40-5.50

buy GOOG on small pullback quickly because GOOG is going much higher in the next 6 months

buy GS on the dip between $170-$180, hold it for at least 6 monthes you should see good result.

Wait for SBUX to go even lower or after earning and pull trigger.

ISRG just dropped another 15% after great earning annoucement. this is spec/growth stock so buy in on the dip.

what to buy is up to you. but stay diversified.

also since you said aggressively, i'd open account with Scottrade and set that account to margin so you can increase your buying power to 10K

GO to http://www.fidelity.com and open an account and have fun.

get a financial advisor

Talk to an advisor.

It depends on you risk tolerance.
If you want to gamble with your money, you may look at Penny stocks, some can go up 100,000% or more in one swoop, they can also go bankrupt in 1 hour.
You never know.
So talk to an advisor, tell him what you want to do, and have fun.

Open a mutual fund account with a diversified family of funds like Vanguard and start a MIP...DO NOT PUT ALL THE MONEY IN AT ONCE...Phase/average your way in...Even after the $5k is gone continue to invest regularly...you'll find that you can grow that $5k into a very tidy sum by being consistent and investing OVER TIME! GOOD LUCK!

Well $5000 isn't much so it will be hard to invest it in most companies. Companies that produce high-end products are currently experiencing a serious boom. High-end construction companies are also the same because of the increasing gap of the rich and poor.

Be very careful,with you'r cash! Learn more about the market before you invest.

Check out fool.com they have good recommendations. Hidden Gems has some good recommendations; Cititrip (CTRP), Nuance (Nuan) and others have been performing really well. Motley fool recommends long term growth in companies with large crash reserves, strong growth and little debt.

get a broker. or invest in visa (V)

You realise its a bit risky

Ha! Ha! That's funny!!! ;-)=

Get in touch with a financial advisor. They can help you with the process. You don't want to jump into investing with no knowledge.

Are you asking for specific ideas?
Long - BA, BAC, MELI, PCP, SAPE
Short - AAPL, NILE, TIF, ZQK

invest for the future, look at alternative energy stocks. these are not for quick turn over, but for a longer term. alot of these stocks are in companies that are still worth under a dollar/share. check out GRGR.PK on the NYSE and TMG.V, SBX.V and APV.TO on the TSX. to name afew and there are alot more, these are ones I've researched. you do need to research the companies first......

If you want to invest aggresively then presumably you need a lot of gearing. Try options, futures or CFDs

look at some alternative energy ETFs or mutual funds.

Invest and trade/speculate are specific terms.

To "invest" is to keep it for a year or more. It is hard to say you are "aggressively" planting trees (as in they take time to mature).

Trading and speculating are not necessarily the same specific things. Some traders, often (but not always) "day traders" (another specific term), will watch the volume and direction and news to see stocks making major moves in the market, especially early in the trading day. They buy what is moving. When it stops moving they sell. Sometimes they win, often they lose, but if they watch it closely enough and rightly read the tea leaves of their technical trading methods, they might average out with a profit, might.

Speculators tend to look for value trends. Either it is a profitable company that has good prospects but may, for instance, have a low price to earnings ratio, as in it is cheaper than its peers, the competitors. The famous Warren Buffet does things vaguely along these lines.

Others look for industries that are swinging into favor, something the famous investor John Bogel does, and jumps into multiple positions with the strongest of companies within that flavor-of-the-month sector.

There are issues of value, broader economic picture, momentum, etc. So, for the moment, park your money in an interest paying account while you study the markets and trading techniques. Use a portfolio feature, such as is often found for free on major market news websites, and practice the methods and techniques that seem reasonable or understandable to you. When you've become confident in a method, map out an application (which is often to say, don't risk it all, but set some loss limits before you shovel a little more of your reserves into your method). As example, when I was trading commodities a while back, I never put more than 25 percent into one position unless I was absolutely certain I wanted to take on that kind of risk.

Risk is an important word to remember. So is greed. It tends not to be good, unless you are blessed with a boatload of luck, not to push too far with either or both risk and greed. That is the idea to mapping out your intentions on paper, because (trust me, I know) emotions will cost you dearly.
