Oh there's more luck required than that. You have to get lucky many times to win at a 10x stock.
- You have to be lucky enough to find it when it's cheap.
- You have to be lucky enough to hold on to it even if it loses money
- You have to be lucky enough to not sell it when it's at only 5x and hold off for the top
- you have to be lucky enough to have bought enough initially that the return is meaningful to you
These are the thoughts that made me clean up how I invest and stop thinking I'll get lucky at some point just rolling the dice. It's way more luck required than just buying in early.
