In 1997, Mark Minervini won the U.S. Investing Championship with a 155% return.
Stocks only.
One of the most important patterns behind his approach is something you can spot on almost any chart:
- Strong prior uptrend
- Each pullback gets smaller: 25% โ 15% โ 8% โ 3%
- Volume dries up as price gets tighter
- Supply starts disappearing as fewer sellers are willing to sell
- Breakout through the pivot as demand returns
Each contraction tells you something: sellers are becoming less aggressive, while buyers are willing to step in at progressively higher levels.
He calls it the Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP).
The idea is simple:
When a stock refuses to go down while volume dries up, pay attention.
It may be moving toward the point of least resistance.
Tighter before higher.

Tesla is now worth MORE than all other publicly traded automakers combined
Tesla: $1.511 Trillion
Everyone else combined: $1.446 Trillion
Toyota, BYD, GM, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Porsche...all of them combined
And Tesla still stands taller... nothing even comes close
Thesis:
$CRDO down 20% after a beat + raise.
Revenue +115% YoY.
FY27 growth guidance raised from 80% โ 85%.
Gross margins still ~65%.
Optical/NPO ramp ahead of schedule.
The market is reacting to slower sequential growth + lower margins as the business shifts toward optics.
I donโt think either breaks the thesis.
Quality AI names simply havenโt given us many real dips. $CRDO is becoming a broader bet on the connection inside AI clusters as they move toward 1.6T and eventually 3.2T.
The AI buildout didnโt slow down because $CRDO dropped 20%.
This is the type of dip I want to buy.
If you bought $NBIS every day at market close and sold at market open, your return since trading resumed (Oct 2024) would be ~+1,151%
($100 โ ~$1,251)
If you bought $NBIS every day at market open and sold at market close, your return would be -12%
($100 โ ~$88)
Almost all of Nebiusโs gains over the past ~22 months have come from overnight moves
If you bought $MU everyday at market close and sold at market open, your return would be 138,330,342%
If you bought $MU everyday at market open and sold at market close, your return would be -99.2%
Almost all of $MU gains have come from overnight moves
I am going to set up a trading agent that buys $1000 of $MU everyday right at market close and it will sell it at market open the next day
This will be a fun experiment

Congrats to Nancy and for those who followed.

US National Debt has increased by $658 billion since July 1st.
The Federal Government is borrowing from our future to spend money like drunken sailors today.
Everything they said about "cutting spending" and "balancing the budget" was a lie.
