The 7-Day Fast Start: Day One
Essential mindsets, strategies, and tools you need to research, invest, and profit to become a seven-figure investor.
Introduction: My Story
Hey everyone, in this video we're going to go over the 7-day fast start. I'm going to take you through the essential mindsets, strategies, and tools you need to research, invest, and profit to become a seven-figure investor.
So my name is Darold Trinh, and a little about me is I didn't obtain some six-figure or million-dollar inheritance. My family grew up poor. I at one point in my life lived in a single room with my parents and sister. I ultimately made a million dollars in the stock market while working as a physician assistant. I've been in the stock market now for over eight years. I've lost a lot of money, but I've also now made a lot of money, and now I've helped over 200+ students become more intelligent investors.
Overview and Road Map
This is day one. I'm going to show you how to invest predictably in the stock market without day trading, checking your portfolio 24/7, or just investing into your Roth IRA.
Before we get into anything, we always want to clearly define our goals. Your goal will dictate how you implement the strategy.

Goal Setting: The Math Breakdown
We'll start from a starting point to your goal. Here's the scenario and here's the math breakdown:
Scenario 1: Limited Capital
Starting point: $1,000
Ending goal: $1,500 profit
Let's go through the scenario: You bought a stock at $10 per share and you bought 100 shares with that $1,000. That would mean in order to profit at least $1,500, you would need the share price of the stock to go to at least $25. That would mean I could sell 100 of my shares at $25, which would net me at least $2,500. That would mean I would need to make 150% from that one individual stock.
Scenario 2: More Capital
Starting point: $100,000
Goal profit: $1,500
You buy a stock still at $10 per share and you bought 10,000 shares to equal that $100,000. That would mean in order to profit at least $1,500, you would only need the share price to go to at least $10.15. I would only need a small percentage of gain to make a quick $1,500.

The Last Man Standing Concept
Let's go over the concept of the last man standing and how the last man standing wins. The reason I believe value investing is the best is because 99% of traders fail. If you look at the statistics, even if they make huge gains, they lose most of their money.
Here is just a picture that I found through Wall Street Bets: a lot of people doing options trading ended up losing a million dollars in a quick week. So a lot of gurus love to talk about day trading and options trading, yet you'll never see them talk about the losses that come with it. It's a great model to start with very limited capital, so long as you pretend you're okay with losing tons of money.
The Reality vs. The Dream
The dream: Make $1,000 per day consistently
The reality: They make $1,000 in one day and they lose $2,000 the next day
That is how you lose the game. When it comes to those gurus, don't pay attention to what they're telling you. Pay attention to what the highest level investors are doing, like Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, the verified profitable traders and what they're doing.
Because when you're wiped out, you have no capital to invest with. It's game over. It's the ability to stay in the game even when you're down in your position.

The Beauty of Dollar Cost Averaging
What most people fear is being down in a position. The beauty of value investing is dollar cost averaging our position. So you think that you're losing money, but you're not really—you're lowering your average, and in the process you'll be able to profit more on the upside.
The Math Behind Dollar Cost Averaging
Here's the math again: Let's say you invest $5,000 at an average position of $100. The position then drops to $90 and you invest another $5,000. Your average position is now $95, and you have over $10,000 worth of shares in that position, meaning your average is lower. Once it rebounds and there's a big upside in the stock, you'll be able to profit faster and more.
So you're not losing any money in your position when you're down in that loss—you're getting a better average which allows you to profit more in the upside, and you're able to get out quicker and make more money in the process.

Why This Strategy Works
The beauty of this is you aren't at the risk of liquidation because we aren't doing options. We aren't forced into a timed, dated contract, which means if we don't have a positive return by a specific time frame, we won't be liquidated.
We don't invest into stocks for quick scalps. We're focused on combining the fundamentals with technical analysis to create a strategy that is consistent and predictable.
The Power of Compounding
The game is all about compounding. We're in the game of compounding. The longer you do it, the more you make. Many try to profit hundreds and thousands of dollars fast, and that's not good—it's not consistent.
Look at the day traders—they lose all of it. I want you guys to take a look at the day traders. They have the potential of losing all that they have in a single day if they don't properly risk manage. Whoever can stay the longest in the game wins, hence why they can compound the most.

Who This Model Works For
This model essentially works for anyone:
- Nine-to-five professionals
- Pure beginners
- Day traders (wanting to transition)
- The self-employed
- The retired

What Makes This Model Work
Time Efficiency
You don't have to spend a lot of time. The reality is most people don't have time to be looking at the markets and checking their portfolio 24/7. You got into this for financial freedom, not for you to anxiously check your portfolio every day.
No Complex Exit Strategies
You don't have to worry about exit or entry out of position because we aren't doing any options or day trading.
Take a look at Adam, one of my students who was able to profit 10% even though he wasn't even awake for market open. I want you guys to understand it's not complicated. You don't need any crazy skills to do this. You don't need any of those fancy technical indicators.
Simple but Effective Approach
Our focus is to look at fundamental undervalued companies and then cross-check with simple technical indicators. You can be a complete beginner, and at the end of this seven days, implement everything I teach you, and you'll have the skills of a seven-figure investor.

Student Success Examples
Here's another one of my students, Chris, who was able to sell out of position, netting a total of nearly 9% gain in two separate orders.
It works if you have a limited amount of money or you have lots of money to invest. Just know your gains will be completely different when it comes to the amount you invest—it's all relative. It's all a numbers game.

Low Risk Investment Philosophy
Because we are investing in undervalued companies, there's little to no risk. The reason for this is because we're investing into companies, not the stock. They are reputable companies that are bound to rebound to recapture prior stock prices.
You often hear this saying that there are always winners in the bull market, but in the last 8 years I've realized that whether it's a bull or bear market, there is always opportunity. No greed—opportunities will always present themselves.

Day One Wrap-Up
So that is day one, and I want to know your biggest takeaway from day one.

Next Steps
In our next lesson, we'll dive deeper into the fundamental analysis techniques that will help you identify those undervalued companies we've been discussing. We'll explore the specific metrics and ratios that separate good investments from great ones.
Remember: The journey to becoming a seven-figure investor starts with understanding these core principles. Master the mindset first, then the strategy will follow.
