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。

    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.

    兩週前,一位WSB投資者完美地把握了SMCI下跌的時機,賺取了289,384.58英鎊(約合357,000美元)。

    他認爲該公司仍然強勁且被低估。只要它成功提交10-K報告並改善內部財務管理,市場信心就可以恢復。他認爲,如果SMCI達到其盈利指引,該股可能會下跌今年150美元以上.

    他很自信,因爲這不是他第一次大獲全勝。返回期間$Reddit(RDDT)$首次公開募股時,他全力以赴,而大多數人對此表示懷疑——但事實證明他是對的。現在,看到WSB誤解SMCI只會更加堅定他的信念。

    逢低买入,有时候是“捡黄金”,有时候是“接飞刀”。我自己既有过侥幸成功的经历,也有被市场狠狠教训的时候。


    最经典的一次“抄底”经历是在科技股暴跌时,我当时判断市场情绪过度恐慌,买入了一些被错杀的优质公司,后续反弹让我赚了一笔不错的收益。但同样,我也在某些时候低位买入了一些看似便宜的股票,结果它们继续下跌,甚至有的基本面恶化,直接变成了长期套牢。


    如果说哪只股票能让我觉得“一战封神”,那可能是英伟达(NVDA) 或者苹果(AAPL) 这种十年长牛股。但问题是,真正能坚定拿住的投资者太少了,大多数人在波动中被甩下车,或者因为短期涨幅卖飞了。


    如何判断底部?我更关注以下几个信号:一是成交量,如果股票在低位出现明显放量,说明有资金开始抄底;二是基本面,公司的核心业务是否依然稳健;三是市场情绪,当大家都不愿再谈论它,甚至媒体也唱衰时,可能就是机会。


    最终,投资不能靠赌一把退休,而是靠耐心和正确的决策,才能真正实现财富增长。

  • 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.
