“Buy the Rip” Is the New “Buy the Dip” VIEW IN BROWSER BY ANDY SWAN, FOUNDER, LIKEFOLIO What would you do to go back in time and buy Nvidia (NVDA) in 2023, Tesla (TSLA) in 2020, or Apple (AAPL) in 2018? You likely had that chance – and might have passed. Because at the time, each was trading at all-time highs. Analysts said valuations were stretched. Commentators warned of bubbles. Every instinct told you to wait for the pullback. Fast forward, and your gut was right about those companies. But your timing priced you out: Of +300% on NVDA… Of +700% on TSLA… Of +250% on AAPL… And countless other stocks that hit all-time highs – only to rip even higher. You never have to fall for this all-too-common mistake again. Because with 40 years of combined trading experience under our belts, my brother Landon and I know a thing or two about buying the rips – and the dips. We’ve got some critical advice to share in today’s video that could upend everything you thought you knew about making money in the stock market. And with U.S. stock market valuations hitting historic highs, it couldn’t come at a better time… Recommended Link | | | | TradeSmith’s Keith Kaplan is Wall Street’s worst nightmare.

The Data Doesn’t Lie Bank of America crunched 50 years of data to see how that instinct plays out over time. The result is clear: Buying strength has historically paid off in a big way. “Investors who bought the S&P 500 at record highs earned: +13% one year later +27% after two years +87% after five.” And amazingly, that’s actually better than what the buy-the-dip crowd achieved:

And in today’s video, you’ll see exactly why the most painful buys end up being the most profitable. The Pain of Being “Right” Too Early In 2020, Tesla stock crossed $100 (before its 5-for-1 stock split). Headlines called it “detached from reality.” 
Source: X By the end of that year, TSLA shares had exploded +700%. Those who waited for sanity missed the birth of an entirely new industry. 
Apple looked “topped out” when it hit a $1 trillion valuation in 2018. The iPhone was mature, services were unproven, and most thought growth had peaked. “Given that valuation isn’t compelling, given that numbers might still need to come down, and given that we don’t think next year’s iPhone cycle is going to be particularly compelling, I’m not so sure you need to run out and buy the stock," said the top-ranked Apple analyst, Toni Sacconaghi, at the time. 
Source: X Apple’s market cap tripled over the next five years as wearables, silicon, and ecosystem growth powered sales and bullish investor sentiment. And AAPL stock? It soared nearly +250%. 
It was a similar story for Nvidia in 2023: The AI stock’s move past $500 (pre-stock split) had investors calling it a bubble. 
Source: X Yet that was the moment just before Nvidia cemented itself as the backbone of modern computing. The stock has since soared another +300% and added trillions in value while becoming the defining company of the AI era. 
These moments of high fear turned out to be inflection points – moments when execution, demand, and innovation converged before the naysayers caught up. If you missed those signals, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to make the same mistake again – with LikeFolio’s help. Why We Hesitate The urge to wait for the dip comes from self-preservation. No one wants to feel foolish buying the top. But markets rarely reward comfort. The best opportunities almost always feel uncomfortable in real time. Anchoring bias makes investors compare today’s price to what it “used to be.” Loss aversion tells them to avoid regret. And the desire for validation makes them wait for confirmation that never arrives. By the time comfort returns, so do higher prices. Sound familiar? October 2025: The Next Buy-the-Rip Moment Is Here Valuations are stretched. The market feels top heavy. Analysts warn of bubbles. And they might be right – for a while. 
Source: X But what if they’re wrong again? That’s the key to long-term investing: conviction over timing. Identify companies with strong consumer demand, real execution, and durable tailwinds. That’s what we do every day at LikeFolio. It’s how we spotted the opportunity in TSLA way back in 2019 before shares exploded more than +1,000%. It’s how we delivered MegaTrends investors a +556% profit on Robinhood Markets (HOOD) in September. And it’s how we’ve achieved a stunning +94% average gain on our open MegaTrends portfolio positions. I don’t want you to miss out on the next TSLA or HOOD because you’re worried about timing or valuations. I want to completely change how you think about timing, momentum, and risk as an investor. And I’ll do that in just six minutes of your time. Watch my new video now:
