How to Achieve Supercharged in Stocks in Any Market

Updated : 14/10/2025

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FIRST

There’s no one in the world who isn’t capable of achieving more than they believe they can. We all have untapped potential waiting to be discovered.
Many people dream of achieving big success in the stock market, but only a few actually make it happen. Over time, most investors end up with average or inconsistent results. The main reason for this is simple — they haven’t taken the time to truly learn what works in the market or what drives exceptional performance.
Most investors rely on assumptions based on personal opinions or unproven theories rather than solid, factual evidence. Only a small number of traders take the time to deeply study the traits and behavior of high-performing stocks. And even among those who do gain this knowledge, many struggle to maintain the emotional discipline needed to stick to a winning strategy.
Why do so many people struggle to reach their goals and fail to find real success in the stock market? The main reason is simple — most don’t truly believe they can achieve exceptional results. They’ve been conditioned to think that big gains always come with big risks, or that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This mindset holds them back before they even begin.

No Luck Required

“The more I practice, the luckier I get.”
Success in the stock market isn’t about luck or chance — and it’s definitely not gambling. Real, lasting success comes from knowledge, persistence, and skill — all of which are built through continuous learning, hard work, and experience.
Long-term performance depends on discipline — the ability to consistently follow a solid plan and avoid self-defeating habits. If you can do that, your chances of success increase dramatically.
Gambling, on the other hand, is purely chance — the more you play, the more you lose. Stock trading only becomes “a gamble” if you treat it that way. Think of it like brain surgery: without the right training, it’s dangerous; but with proper knowledge and skill, it becomes a calculated, controlled profession.
In the same way, the more effort and discipline you bring to trading, the “luckier” you’ll seem to get.
You Can Start Small
“A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man’s brow.”
Every big achievement starts as a small idea. Don’t let doubt — yours or someone else’s — stop you before you begin. Even small, consistent steps in the right direction can lead to remarkable success over time.

Whenever you try something new, you’ll always meet people who doubt you. They’ll tell you it’s impossible or not worth the effort. If you don’t have much money, some will insist you can’t trade successfully without a big bankroll — but that’s simply not true. I’m here to tell you that you can build real wealth from the stock market even if you start small.

Maybe you’re just starting your career or haven’t yet built up much savings. It might feel like trading is out of reach — but don’t let that discourage you. Everyone starts somewhere. I did too.
I remember a close friend of mine who wanted to learn trading. I invited him to my office to watch and learn from my daily trades. He started with a small account and gradually picked up the skills to trade wisely and manage risk. Once he gained confidence, he began trading on his own from home. But a few months later, he quit. When I asked why, he said another friend had told him he’d never succeed because his trading capital was too small — and he believed it. That kind of negativity ended his journey before it even really began.

You see, it’s not about how much you start with — it’s about what you do with it. Michael Dell began selling computers from his college dorm room and founded Dell Computers in 1984 with just $1,000. That company became the world’s largest personal computer manufacturer. I started with only a few thousand dollars myself and, within a few years, grew it to over $160,000 — and then to half a million the next year. From there, I used that momentum to build lasting wealth.

And I’m not the only one. Investors like David Ryan, who won three consecutive U.S. Investing Championships with triple-digit returns each year, started small too. Reading about his story in the mid-1980s inspired me to pursue my own path to superperformance — and eventually, I won the U.S. Investing Championship myself.
There are many of us who began with modest means and ended up achieving extraordinary success. What we all share in common is this: we refused to let others convince us it couldn’t be done.
Remember — the people who say something can’t be done are usually the ones who never tried.

At some point, you have to take full responsibility for your own success in the market. If you rely only on other people’s tips or so-called expert opinions, you’re just throwing darts in the dark. The truth is, no one will ever care about your money or your future as much as you do.

Learn to do your own research. Trust your judgment and your ability to think independently. Your own knowledge and instincts are far more valuable than anyone else’s advice — because they’re yours. Do the work, take ownership of both your wins and losses, and remember: no one is going to make you rich except you.

Do You Want to Be Right — or Make Money?

After my disastrous experience with a full-service broker during a biotech trade, I decided it was time to take control of my own trading. I opened an account at a discount brokerage, where I met a broker named Ron. Over the next couple of years, Ron and I became good friends. We had a lot in common — except when it came to trading style.

Ron was more of a “value” investor. He didn’t worry much about price trends or supply and demand. My approach, on the other hand, was to buy promising, lesser-known companies that were already moving upward. I focused on momentum — if a stock dropped too far below my entry point, I planned to sell it quickly. At least, that was the plan.

We often watched each other’s trades and teased one another when things went wrong. If I hit a string of losses, Ron would joke, “Hey, genius, what happened? That one tanked!” As funny as it seemed, those jabs got under my skin. I started holding on to losing stocks — not because it made sense, but because I didn’t want to face Ron’s ridicule when I called to sell.

I’d watch a stock drop 5%, then 10%, knowing full well I should sell — but I didn’t. I’d think, “I’ll wait for it to bounce back.” Then it would fall 15%, 20%, and I’d feel too embarrassed to admit defeat. The losses grew, and my account drained like a ship taking on water.

The stock market can change in an instant — bringing both opportunity and danger. To succeed, you have to act decisively: move quickly when chances appear, and cut your losses just as fast when things go wrong. Hesitation and pride are the enemies of profit.
