'Average annual return of 220 percent for five consecutive years'
Mark Minervini's Secret to Success!

Recommended by Nam Seok-gwan, Yoo Nomad, and Kim Dae-hyun!

SEPA Technique + Mindset = Super Profit Investor

This is the author's fourth book, following 『High-Yield Growth Stock Investment』, 『High-Yield Momentum Investment』, and 『Think and Trade Like a Champion』, and it is also the only book he has written that has not been published in Korea.
Minervini dropped out of high school and made a living as a drummer until he became an adult, and it is known that he did not make a single penny in the six years since he started trading stocks.
This book contains the secrets of how he became a millionaire through stock trading at the age of 31 and rose to become the world's best stock trader in 1997.
This book has also caught the attention of many readers as it explores the psychological game that investing is.

Of course, there are many stock books on the market that emphasize the importance of mindset, but there are virtually no books that talk about how to change it.
For investors who want to change their mindset but are struggling because they can't, the author provides clear direction on "how" to do so through this book.
Chapter 1 talks about how mindsets are manifested and how we can change them, and Chapter 2 teaches us to repeatedly practice changing the mindsets we have been taught.
The final chapter contains the author's habitual practice methods.

The SEPA technique discussed in 『Investing in High-Yield Growth Stocks』 alone cannot reach the realm of high returns.
This is because, before that, investors must overcome the psychological confusion that they often experience.
This book can be considered a complete version of Minervini's book in that it focuses on areas that investors are likely to commonly feel.
This book is filled with stories that will have a positive impact not only on trading but on all areas of life, and on anyone who aspires to become the master of their own life.
If someone has worked hard toward a goal or achieved something, only to be frustrated, fail, or give up, you can hand them this book and advise them not to do so and to overcome it.
Because this book provides everyone who strives with the tools of confidence to move toward higher goals.

I made a hard-earned $250,000 with a few thousand dollars and entered the US Investing Championship with that money.
The rules are simple, as the best investors trade stocks, options, and futures in a real-world investment competition.
The investor with the highest return over the year wins the competition.
I became the winner of the US Investing Championship, turning $250,000 into $637,500 in 12 months.
It recorded a return of a whopping 155 percent.
This gave him the highest return in a prestigious investment competition, beating out hundreds of investors from across the United States.
People often ask me how I achieved this.
I can assure you that I wasn't able to do this because I was special, gifted, or lucky.
It is the result of actively accepting and practicing the mindset that has imprinted a winning strategy on me.
I spent nearly two years organizing everything I've learned throughout my life and distilling it down to its essence in this book you now hold in your hands.
You may have picked up this book by accident, by chance, or on purpose.
You, who have opened this book, have probably always pursued your dreams and walked the path you always wanted to take.
If you need an example of someone who started out with less than you have now, here I am.
If I can do it, you can do it too.

We cannot change what happened in the past, but we can change the weight of what happened in the past and what it means in the present.
What actually happened is not as important as the meaning we give it in this moment.
Looking back on the past from a different perspective can transform messy and confusing thoughts and understanding, or anger and pain, into empathy and compassion.
Let's take an example.
Some people have been dissatisfied throughout their childhood because their parents were overly strict or overbearing.
He suspects that his parents did not love him even after he became an adult because these feelings did not go away.
But your parents say that they did their best to raise you based on their beliefs.
How does he view his childhood now? Has your perspective changed?
"Nothing has any meaning other than the meaning I give it." I hope you'll repeat this sentence several times a day starting next week.
This saying will remind you that life is a canvas, and it is up to you to choose what to paint on it.
There is no right or wrong in the events we experience in life.
We just give it meaning.
Then, we distinguish whether it is a good experience or a bad experience, a moral or an immoral thing, a stressful thing or a pleasant thing.
It is up to us to decide how we experience and perceive it.

Tara VanDerveer, head coach of the 1966 U.S. Olympic women's basketball team, wanted to make sure her players were highly committed to winning.
She wanted each athlete to experience what it felt like to be a champion, not just physically, but emotionally, so she held a mock medal ceremony at the Atlanta Olympic Basketball Stadium a few months before the Olympics.
At this event, all the athletes wore gold medals around their necks.
Van der Veer wanted the athletes to remember the joy of having a gold medal around their necks, to fuel their desire to win and to be more dedicated to the competition.
And a few months later, they actually experienced the joy of winning an Olympic gold medal!
Great champions have one thing in common: unwavering confidence.
This is the difference between champions and ordinary people.
Champions work hard and prepare to build a foundation of confidence that is difficult to achieve.
A champion is not only a winning expert, but also someone who truly believes he or she can win.
Because I have been truly dedicated to what I need to do to win.

I took the list I had made and put it in a corner, and after about 5 or 6 months, I asked everyone to write down in order of importance what was absolutely important to them in their lives.
They wrote down on paper things that most people can relate to: family, health, God, stability, freedom, etc.
Now it's time to play the 'pairing' game.
I asked them to take out their wish lists they had written earlier and compare the top items with the important list they had written this time.
Almost everyone had very few matches.
Money was usually at the top of the wish list, and family was at the top of the importance list.
A big house, a fancy car, and a million-dollar investment account followed money on the wish list, but job security, vacation time, and family weekends followed on the important list.
The gap identified between the two lists was truly striking.
Because what you want and what you prioritize rarely align.
The discrepancies between the two lists reveal which parts of your goals are hindering your effort and focus, and which may even make you feel guilty, making it difficult to pursue your goals.
We strive to achieve financial success in our current endeavors or become champions in our chosen fields, but we feel a sense of guilt that pushes us away from pursuing our goals and prevents us from spending more time with our families.

A study of junior tennis players found that negative self-talk was linked to losing.
When it comes to negative self-talk, renowned cognitive-behavioral psychologist Albert Ellis has pointed out that it can be particularly destructive for athletes to think of themselves as "losers" or "chalk artists" who always mess up when they're nervous.
When athletes perceive themselves negatively, they often behave in ways that confirm these expectations.
Research results support this.
If you use negative expressions even with positive intentions, the effect will be negative.
I've heard people who are putting golf shots tell themselves not to imagine.
The advice they received included not hitting the golf ball short of the target or imagining not getting the golf ball into the target.
Their performance in the match was poor.
Why? The goal was to inform us about what not to do, but the advice focused on the negative, like a golf ball that didn't reach its target.
For this reason, coaches refrain from giving negative coaching or feedback using negative language, such as “don’t hit the fly ball” in baseball or “stay out of bounds on the left side” in tennis.
Although the intentions are good, negative advice can become ingrained in athletes' minds.
