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?

Investing has been a journey of constant learning, and key principles have helped me minimize losses. One major lesson was realizing that while opportunities are plenty, not all are right for me. Early on, I chased too many stocks, but by narrowing my focus and aligning investments with my strategy, I made better decisions and avoided unnecessary risks. A crucial mindset shift was understanding that investing isn’t about proving myself right but making money. I used to hold onto losing positions, hoping the market would turn in my favor. When I prioritized flexibility—cutting losses when needed and adapting to market conditions—my portfolio became more stable. Patience and valuation became essential to my strategy. I once believed growth justified any price, but I learned that even great c

I learnt "Patience is Key". One of the rarest and most valuable qualities I learned was patience. If u bought a company share that u study the business model is good and with potential growth, you should not be panic when the share price drop drastically. U should trust the companu business model. I had experienced myself like the share I had bought $Alibaba(BABA)$ and $Sea Ltd(SE)$ . These 2 shares price had dropped more than 50% of my purchase price. However, i trust the company business model and hold on the shares till now. I had made more than 30% now. U need to be patience.

Patience and don’t FOMO. What goes up must come down. Maybe applicable for SG market n not US market. Anyway, me being a long term investor, sometimes just switch off monitoring the stock market, n just enjoy my vacation while it lasts.

There’s no single stock guaranteed to deliver a retirement-sized win in one shot—anyone claiming otherwise is either lucky or selling you something. High-risk, high-reward plays like leveraged ETFs (e.g., $TSLL tied to Tesla) get hyped for their potential to explode, especially if Tesla’s growth keeps defying gravity. A big win there could theoretically 10x your money in a few years if stars align—think $100k turning into $1M. But the flip side’s brutal: volatility can wipe you out just as fast, and most don’t have the stomach for it. Historically, stocks like Amazon or Apple have turned small bets into retirement nest eggs, but those were decades-long grinds, not one-hit wonders.  For a shorter horizon, speculative names in tech or biotech—say, a small-cap AI firm or a drug company a
