So the more aggressive your investment, the higher the likelihood of having a higher "payout" so to speak? I don't know the exact term.

It’s more about the risk profile than the level of investment. More risk equals more potential rewards. But you want something moderate risk like VOO which is an S and P 500 tracker. Meaning it’s made up of a mixture of s&p500 stocks.

Yes in general a higher risk investment should have a higher expected payout than a lower risk investment but the range of outcomes (meaning chance of loss) will be higher
