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。

    None of the stock gave a feeling of possible to retire with One Big Win.   Never try big bet for big win as it is very risky. Thankful if overall enjoy some profits and in the green.
