@SayNoToTrading Better off waiting for $SPCX which floods with (extremely) negative narratives then I will consider to buy in. Opportunity will happen at market.
@DeepIceValue That why you will never have big winners in your life at the stock market. You also have been saying $PLTR is overvalued from $20 all the way to the top of $200, that what other people said as well considering they are sour grapes who missed out generational ride at the market.
@TrimnTrail888@TedHZhang Are you retard? Ron got in at a decade ago with like 20b valuation. Why would he care much about the drawdown when he has significant cushion on his $SPCX position?
@TihoBrkan Value and momentum investing has different principle. At the end of the day whoever make monies in terms of realized gain is already good to go. Pointless to debate anyway.
@TihoBrkan Kinda disagree with point 2. I have seen a lot of cases when retails have made a fortune from $TSLA $NVDA $PLTR and those big tech businesses as example
If they say "I told you so" or "I warned you", there's a good chance that they are more obsessed with being right and wanting you to listen to them rather than really trying to help you.
@DeepIceValue Nah I disagree with that. The late last year was already at supply constraint and is up till 2027. The recent correction wise was great enough to ride the momentum train at the market. I guess you missed it since 350 +/- but not at this price at current moment.
To find stocks with Elite Relative Strength (RS), you need a systematic scanning process. True market leaders show their strength by making new highs before the major indexes (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq) or by holding firm when the broader market is correcting.
Here is a step-by-step blueprint to find high-RS stocks using standard scanning tools (like MarketSurge, TradingView, or StockCharts):
1. The Raw Relative Strength Scan (The Baseline)
If you are using a platform that calculates a proprietary RS Rating (like IBD/MarketSurge, which ranks stocks from 1 to 99 based on price performance over the last year), your starting point is simple:
Filter for RS Rating $\ge$ 90: This immediately eliminates 90% of the market, leaving you only with the top 10% of performance.
Filter for RS Rating $\ge$ 95: Use this during a market correction to find the absolute elite tier.
2. Visual RS Scans (The "Line in the Sand")
If you don't have access to 1-99 ratings, you can use the RS Line (which plots the stock's price divided by the S&P 500 index price). Look for these specific visual behaviors:
RS New High Before Price
This is one of the most powerful leading indicators in technical analysis.
The Setup: The stock price is still consolidating or pulling back below its recent peak, but the RS Line has already broken out to a clear new lifetime or 52-week high.
What it means: Institutional accumulation is silently aggressive. Big money is absorbing every share available while the general market is distracted.
Blue Dot Scans (MarketSurge / Custom Scripts)
A "Blue Dot" occurs when a stock's RS line hits a new 52-week high while the stock itself is still in a base or consolidation pattern.
If you use TradingView or ThinkOrSwim, you can search for community scripts called "RS Line New High Before Price" or "IBD RS Blue Dot" to plot this automatically on your charts.
3. Market Correction Scans (The "Resilience" Test)
The absolute best time to find true RS is when the market index ($SPY or $QQQ) is actively falling. When the tide goes out, you see who is swimming with a rocket booster.
Run a scan with these parameters during a market pullback:
Price: Stock is trading above its rising 8-week EMA (or 21-day EMA).
Index Comparison: The S&P 500 is trading below its 21-day or 50-day moving average.
Performance: Stock is within 10% of its 52-week highs, while the index is down 5% to 10%+ from its highs.
4. Combining RS with Volume Signatures
High RS on low volume can be a trap. To ensure the relative strength is backed by institutional footprint, layer your RS scans with volume filters:
RS > 90 + HV1 (Highest Volume in 1 Year) within the last 5-10 days.
RS > 90 + HVE (Highest Volume Ever) on a recent PEG (Power Earnings Gap).
A Quick Example Checklist:
If the market sells off 300 points, look for the stock that finishes the day positive or completely flat on above-average volume. Put that ticker at the top of your watchlist it is your primary candidate for an Inside Day contraction or an Under-Cut and Rally (U/C) setup the moment the market stabilizes.
@DeepIceValue You missed out the wave up and those outperform your picks by momentum riding 😂
You said the same thing for $PLTR and it went up all the way to 200.
Picking the Right Stocks is Easy. Building Real Wealth is Brutally Hard. (June 1, 2026)
Spotting the right companies is only the beginning. True wealth creation demands something far rarer: the right mindset.
Here are the 5 non-negotiable traits that separate those who build life-changing wealth from those who merely watch from the sidelines:
1. The ability to endure extreme volatility
Most high-growth tech and innovation companies swing 50-70% or more during their journey. Not everyone can stomach that. If you get shaken out during the inevitable drawdowns, your “great pick” becomes worthless.
2. The courage to size up aggressively on discounts
When the market (or “whales”) hands you a meaningful discount, do you have the conviction to buy big? Or are you selling cheap to them?
Timing the exact bottom is a fool’s game. Position sizing is far more important. Buying a token amount might feel safe, but it’s usually a waste of time and mental energy. Big winners require big bets at the right moments.
3. The discipline to ignore permabear noise and trust your own conviction
Permabears will always scream “valuation is too high,” “it’s overstretched,” "top is in" or “the bubble is about to burst.”
Look at $PLTR today — the same tired arguments were used for years.
Remember: I bought $NVDA at $15.2 with a PE over 120. Almost every legendary growth stock looked expensive at the beginning of its multi-year run. Looking back, most winners have vertical paths precisely because they deserve higher multiples from day one.
4. Stop seeking advice from others
The more opinions you collect, the more confused and paralyzed you become.
Investing is deeply personal — like choosing who to date or marry. You don’t crowdsource that decision.
Develop your own framework, do your own work, and back your own judgment. That’s how real conviction is built. You don't need permission from anyone to buy and sell — nobody owns a crystal ball. Buy during big discounts and lock in profits when you’re euphoric. That’s the simple rule of the game.
5. The patience to hold for the full cycle
Most people trade in and out, constantly chasing the next shiny thing. That works for short-term traders with small capital.
But as a genuine long-term investor, I rarely sell. Great growth companies typically enjoy 15–20+ year compounding cycles. History shows this with every major winner. The Big 7 are prime examples, proving that 100X to 1,000X returns are very possible if you have the conviction to buy and hold. Selling too early is the silent killer of wealth!
