Which Stock Made You Feel Like You Could Retire with One Big Win?

In the world of investing, there’s always that one stock that makes you think, “If I catch this one, I’ll be financially free.” Recently, $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ has given one investor exactly that feeling.

A perfect dip-buy and inverse WSB: retirement is so close?

Two weeks ago, a WSB investor timed the dip in SMCI perfectly and earn £289,384.58 (about $357,000).

He believes the company remains strong and undervalued. As long as it successfully files its 10-K report and improves internal financial management, market confidence could be restored. He believes that if SMCI meets its earnings guidance, the stock could hit $150+ this year.

He’s confident because this isn’t his first big win. Back during $Reddit(RDDT)$ IPO, he went all-in while most people doubted it—yet he was proven right. Now, seeing WSB misunderstand SMCI only strengthens his conviction.

How to buy the dip? Catching a falling knife is a risky move? 🔪

But not every dip buy leads to massive gains. As Peter Lynch famously said, “Trying to catch the bottom is like trying to grab a falling knife.” If you reach out too soon, you might not just miss—it could cut you.

A safer approach is to wait for the knife to hit the ground, wobble a bit, and finally settle before picking it up. In investing terms, don’t buy a stock just because it has dropped significantly—make sure there’s a solid reason to believe it will rebound:

Has the company’s fundamentals improved?
Is management implementing clear corrective actions?
Has market sentiment shifted from extreme fear to recovery?

Have You Ever Hit the Jackpot—or Gotten Burned—Buying the Dip?

Which stock made you feel like one big win could let you retire?

Have you ever successfully timed the bottom—or did you end up trapped?

What signals do you use to determine if a stock has truly stabilized?

    🌟🌟🌟DBS $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$  is one Singapore stock that I feel I could retire on as I am currently up 100% on DBS.  Slow and steady is my favourite way of investing.  Just buy and hold great quality stocks that tick all the core fundamentals of profitability, rock solid balance sheet and great management team.  DBS is certainly such an amazing stock.

    I do not try to time the market as it is an impossible task that not even the best analysts can get it right all the time.   Instead just dollar cost average using Tiger Brokers' excellent Auto Invest feature and allow the magic of compounding to happen over time. 

    Investing does not have to be complicated.  Buy and hold great stocks and reap bountiful rewards in the long term. 

    As the late Charlie Munger likes to say "The Big Money is not in the Buying and Selling but in the Waiting".

    I have not had a big win that will allow me to retire. I manage my risks and will not put in great amounts of money in a single stock. I don’t believe in timing the market in trades as it is too difficult to always win it. I do buy the dips and have to wait some time to ride it out to profit eg Tencent. I would average down while I wait it out. The most important thing is to buy fundamentally sound companies that are facing a rough patch due to macro factors. I typically buy the dip when my price point has been reached eg dropped by a certain percentage or wait till the first reversal to uptrend.

      I exercise no expectations on both price and timing. With a research on the stock, it gives me confidence that needs to be "replenished" from the subsequent earnings. 
      The most important ROI for my investing are in learning and time. I also draw money when I need it :)

    I bought Netflix when it dropped below $200 in mid-2022. Average cost price is around $190. I think the low in that cycle was circa $175. It's done 5x in two and a half years. Can't complain about that!

    并非每次逢低买入都会带来巨大收益。正如彼得·林奇的名言,“试图抓住底部就像试图抓住一把落下的刀。”如果你伸出手太早,你可能不仅会错过,还会伤害你。

    没有一只股票给人一种有可能因一场大胜而退休的感觉。永远不要为了大赢而下大赌注,因为这是非常危险的。谢天谢地,如果总体上享受一些利润和绿色。

    两周前,一位WSB投资者完美地把握了SMCI下跌的时机,赚取了289,384.58英镑(约合357,000美元)。

    他认为该公司仍然强劲且被低估。只要它成功提交10-K报告并改善内部财务管理,市场信心就可以恢复。他认为,如果SMCI达到其盈利指引,该股可能会下跌今年150美元以上.

    他很自信,因为这不是他第一次大获全胜。返回期间$Reddit(RDDT)$首次公开募股时,他全力以赴,而大多数人对此表示怀疑——但事实证明他是对的。现在,看到WSB误解SMCI只会更加坚定他的信念。

    逢低買入,有時候是“撿黃金”,有時候是“接飛刀”。我自己既有過僥倖成功的經歷,也有被市場狠狠教訓的時候。


    最經典的一次“抄底”經歷是在科技股暴跌時,我當時判斷市場情緒過度恐慌,買入了一些被錯殺的優質公司,後續反彈讓我賺了一筆不錯的收益。但同樣,我也在某些時候低位買入了一些看似便宜的股票,結果它們繼續下跌,甚至有的基本面惡化,直接變成了長期套牢。


    如果說哪隻股票能讓我覺得“一戰封神”,那可能是英偉達(NVDA) 或者蘋果(AAPL) 這種十年長牛股。但問題是,真正能堅定拿住的投資者太少了,大多數人在波動中被甩下車,或者因爲短期漲幅賣飛了。


    如何判斷底部?我更關注以下幾個信號:一是成交量,如果股票在低位出現明顯放量,說明有資金開始抄底;二是基本面,公司的核心業務是否依然穩健;三是市場情緒,當大家都不願再談論它,甚至媒體也唱衰時,可能就是機會。


    最終,投資不能靠賭一把退休,而是靠耐心和正確的決策,才能真正實現財富增長。

    Personally, i have not done well buying the dip. Its a falling knife for a reason. $Pfizer(PFE)$ was a great example, great company but just kept going lower. But thats a cyclical stock.
    I think buying the dip requires one fundamental. Knowledge. This month i have been buying $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ and $Realty Income(O)$. Why? Because i sold them both at a nice profit, I understand both companies very well, both dividend stocks that when i sold didn’t have the same allure going forward. With schd, the dividend yield wasn’t as consistent as others, with O the yield was low. But for both now, due to the price drop, totally different. Both are solid investments, and their price vs return are too good to refuse.
