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.”

Title: Actionable content straightforward writing style nice illustrations color and readable fonts
Review: This book is full of well-researched actionable content packaged using a straightforward writing style, color, and readable fonts that make this an easy read.I teach online investing and trading classes through Everett Community College, so I constantly look for foundational methods and techniques to improve investing and trading results. This book came on my radar a few days ago while listening to Eve Boboch talk on an IBD show with Irusha Peiris. It sounded like it would fill a known gap in my trading and teaching. Most of the reviews on Amazon were favorable reviews, but one complained about the book's small print. I have old eyes, so I was not looking forward to struggling through a book with a small print font, but I was very pleasantly surprised to open up the book when it arrived and find just the opposite. The font size is perfect for someone like me who needs 2.0 reading glasses. Further, Michelle Feingold, who the acknowledgment page gave credit for the design, did an outstanding job using style, color, and readable fonts with beautiful charts and tables to drive home key concepts.I particularly like that the book takes you through "what," "why," and " how" in a logical journey using a consumable framework with application guidelines. This book will be added to my recommended reading list for my Advanced Trading Techniques class to compliment the lessons from Jesse Livermore, William O'Neil, and Mark Minervini.

Title: Superb resource for investing in IPOs intelligently
Review: After taking up an interest in investing more seriously (beyond simply holding a target date ETF, or the mutual fund de jour) I read this book as part of a small list someone recommended to me to get started in my learning journey.(the others, which I will mention here, since they were also very good were: Trading in the Zone, How to Make Money in Stocks, and 2 of Mark Minervini's books, and Technical Analysis on Multiple Timeframes)I would buy this book again in a heartbeat. My copy is marked up with underlines, and comments in the margins on many pages. It is short enough to be digestible in a few sittings yet inclusive of research, and clear rules for buying, selling, and different types of IPO stocks. So many books (including ones I listed above) are full of fluff, stories that add to the page count but not to the actual substance. This book does not have fluff. Props to the authors for that. They get straight to the point.Further, it they use high quality paper, and large color graphics to demonstrate their points. Have you ever looked over black and white or small stock charts where it's hard to follow exactly what the point is? yeah, me too; it's annoying. They didn't do that in this book.Having just finished the book I plan to go through my own portfolio now to try to see if I can identify the stage and various type of the various stocks I own.My only constructive comment would be that it would be interesting to see a future edition or online appendix of some sort include their thoughts on how to apply this thinking to SPACs, particularly around how to read the chart of SPACs which don't really have an IPO date per se.I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing and wanting to use intelligence, not hype when investing in new issues.

Title: Excellent insight into the IPO market
Review: This is an excellent book. I am a trader of about 30 years and have been a practitioner of the O'Neil Methodology for the majority of that time. For years I have recognized the IPO market as a good source of leading stocks. I always chalked it up to structural issues, that despite having big potential, IPO's will often suffer horrible losses and those loses often did not seem consistent with the prospects of the company. I simply left it at that and paid special attention to honor my stop. In The Lifecycle Trade, the authors have framed context to IPO stocks that puts this all into perspective. The book offers statistics that I have never seen on IPO stocks, that are justification enough for buying the book, and shed light on how you need to operate these vehicles.The book goes further to provide strategies to effectively capitalize on the initial IPO base, and separate strategies to capitalize on the longer, more sustainable, trend that can develop once institutions have been afforded the time to do their due diligence on the stock. As the book points out, and something I had never considered, these two phases must be handle differently.I would recommend this book to any serious trader, whether you have focused on IPO stocks in the past or not. The special risks that IPO stocks bring can scare investors away. But the IPO market is home to "movers", those companies that are in their entrepreneurial growth stage, often with new and exciting products, and this book provides a framework to understand the unique characteristics of this market, and helps prepare you to operate more effectively in this market.

Title: Great Tool of Added to My Investing Library!
Review: Having read this book twice now (with plans for a 3rd time soon), I will emphatically say it is a great resource for any investor/trader wanting to build her/his growth investing skill-set... In fact, it's now a key part of my VERY limited investing library, which includes Bill O'Neil's HTMMIS, Livermore's How to Trade in Stocks, and Darvas' How I Made $2M in the Stock Market... Highlights include:> Great research on IPO history and behavior (actionable research, not filler)> Well laid out (easy to make "cheat sheets" for use day-to-day)> Conversational writing style, which I so appreciate after the more formal style of many investing classics (this is more similar to a Bill O'Neil style book)> Good coverage on portfolio and risk management, which makes it a nice companion piece to O'Neil's HTMMIS> Adaptable to many different trading/investing styles> No fluff/filler - efficient in providing us with what we need to know to better understand IPOs

Review: This book is a gem, the study and research is priceless for any trader that wants to understand new IPOs and when and how to trade them. If one was to conduct this same amount of study and research, you would expect to pay thousands of dollars, but for a book so cheap, as a study and evidence based research guide it’s being given away. When you find new trading books like this it’s easy to place it in the top 10 as this book is so different to all other books on Trading, this isn’t psychology or trading strategy, its giving a trader a number of highly probability scenarios that are likely to occur with any new IPO over a given period time, I am glad to have this at my desk when trading stocks and so will you.

Review: Vorab: Ich setze im Aktienhandel voll und ganz auf technische Analyse. Fundamentalwerte interessieren mich kaum, auch wenn die Geschichte gezeigt hat, dass die meisten Tenbagger, Highperformer oder wie man sie auch liebevoll nennt - meist mit beschleunigt wachsenden Gewinnen, Umsätzen und EPS eingehen.Das Buch erklärt verständlich und anhand von Charts, welche charttechnischen Phasen IPOs generell durchmachen. Klar, jedes IPO ist einzigartig und faszinierend für sich. Aber gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten scheinen doch einige IPOs zu teilen. Um die nächste Superaktie nicht erst dann zu entdecken, wenn sie nach einer parabolischen Entwicklung platzt, sondern direkt am Anfang eines Wachstumskurses, ist Kenntnis von den unterschiedlichen Phasen eines IPOs wichtig. Dieses Buch erweitert dieses Verständnis ungemein und wird deshalb von mir uneingeschränkt empfohlen.

Review: 過去IPO株のチャートを分析し、チャートを複数のパターンに分類している点でIPO株の傾向を知るには良いと思います。
