The Lifecycle Trade: How to Win at Trading IPOs and Super Growth Stocks
The Lifecycle Trade provides unique insight into the behavior of Super Growth Stocks starting with their initial public offerings (IPOs). Using extensive proprietary research, this practical guide contains never-before-published findings that provide revelatory statistics that can help you learn how to find big, winning stocks early. Full color charts and graphics for easy reference.
“Which of the following statements are true?
1. 20% of IPOs gain 100% or more within their first year.
2. Over 90% of IPOs eventually trade below their first day low.
They are both true! IPOs provide great opportunities, but they are also replete with severe drawdowns that can leave traders with net losses, even for those stocks that are eventual big winners. This succinct volume dispels some of the misconceptions about IPOs and should serve as a useful aid in navigating the treacherous waters of IPO trading and in formulating your own trading plan for these unique stocks.”

“As a career futures and forex trader, I have always been intrigued by growth stocks, but never developed the skill to identify the 10X or 20X winners. The Lifecycle Trade is the first book I have read that could help an equities trader gain that skill in a methodical and systematic way. Kudos to the authors for putting a bookend to the earlier works by Peter Lynch.”
—Peter Brandt, Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader, Trading Commodity Futures with Classical Chart Patterns
“A fabulous read for anyone wanting to get an understanding of how to jump on a large, winning IPO and avoid getting ruined by Wall Street's pump-and-dump scheme, which can ruin the average investor.”
—Dan Zanger, Chartpattern.com, Momentum Masters
“An important idea conveyed by Boboch, Donnelly, Krull, and Daill is that stocks follow a Lifecycle Pattern from IPO-infancy to maturation. Understanding where a stock is in its lifecycle provides important clues as to how to trade and invest.”
—Brett H. Steenbarger, Ph.D. Trading Psychology 2.0, The Daily Trading Coach, The Psychology of Trading, Enhancing Trader Performance, A Trader’s Guide to Self-Discipline
“After thirty years of managing money, this book has opened my eyes to new ideas and made me realize that there is always more to learn.” —James Roppel, Founder and Managing Member, Roppel Capital Management
“As a long-time growth stock advisor, I value research that is based in fact and proven through history to give you an edge. That's just what The Lifecycle Trade does. The team has performed exhaustive studies on how IPOs act after they come public, and they identify easy-to-understand patterns and guidelines to take advantage of that action. It's an eye-opener and sure to help any investor who wants in on new, exciting growth situations.”
—Mike Cintolo, Chief Analyst, Cabot Growth Investor and Cabot Top Ten Trader
“ The Lifecycle Trade is a great research tool for stock traders to add to their knowledge toolkit. One can always learn more about trading and the markets, and this book offers valuable guidelines. The selling points and rules are especially insightful since selling is usually the greatest challenge to the trader. I would suggest everyone read The Lifecycle Trade and expand their market research knowledge.”

If you're tired of cookie-cutter approaches and hungry for genuine insights, this book is your compass in the bustling sea of IPOs and super growth stocks.
In the fast-paced world of stock trading, where everyone seems to be chasing ready-made setups, "The Lifecycle Trade: How to Win at Trading IPOs and Super Growth Stocks" is a refreshing departure.

Author's are not handing you a shortcut; they are inviting you into the mindset of a seasoned trader. This isn't a disappointment; it's an opportunity to elevate your understanding and skills.
What makes this book stand out is its focus on comprehension rather than replication. Author's doesn't spoon-feed you with pre-packaged setups, but rather empowers you with the knowledge to craft your own strategies. It's a guide for thinkers, not followers.
Yes, it's true – you won't find a step-by-step, plug-and-play system within these pages. But what you will discover is a wealth of understanding that positions you as a savvy trader in the dynamic world of super growth stocks.
