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.” Two weeks ago, a WSB investor timed the dip in SMCI perfectly and earn £289,384.58 (about $357,000). However, dip buying can't be right everytime. Peter Lynch famously said, “Trying to catch the bottom is like trying to grab a falling knife.” 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?

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!

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.
