I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won't get there by reading 'Now is the time to buy.'

More quotes by Peter Lynch
Equity mutual funds are the perfect solution for people who want to own stocks without doing their own research.
Peter Lynch
When stocks are attractive, you buy them. Sure, they can go lower. I've bought stocks at $12 that went to $2, but then they later went to $30. You just don't know when you can find the bottom.
Peter Lynch
I've always been a great lover of baseball.
Peter Lynch
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
Peter Lynch
When you sell in desperation, you always sell cheap.
Peter Lynch
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch
I've always said, the key organ here isn't the brain, it's the stomach. When things start to decline - there are bad headlines in the papers and on television - will you have the stomach for the market volatility and the broad-based pessimism that tends to come with it?
Peter Lynch
A lot of people got in at the wrong time. A lot of people did very well and some people said, This is it. I'll never get back in again. And they maybe meant it, but they probably got back in again anyway.
Peter Lynch
The worst thing you can do is invest in companies you know nothing about. Unfortunately, buying stocks on ignorance is still a popular American pastime.
Peter Lynch
Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.
Peter Lynch
In our society, it's been the men who've handled most of the finances, and the women who've stood by and watched men botch things up.
Peter Lynch
It would be wonderful if we could avoid the setbacks with timely exits, but nobody has figured out how to predict them.
Peter Lynch
If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds.
Peter Lynch
Your ultimate success or failure will depend on your ability to ignore the worries of the world long enough to allow your investments to succeed.
Peter Lynch
An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
Peter Lynch
The list of qualities (an investor should have) include patience, self-reliance, common sense, a tolerance for pain, open-mindedness, detachment, persistence, humility, flexibility, a willingness to do independent research, an equal willingness to admit mistakes, and the ability to ignore general panic.
Peter Lynch
The basic story remains simple and never-ending. Stocks aren't lottery tickets. There's a company attached to every share.
Peter Lynch
If you hope to have more money tomorrow than you have today, you've got to put a chunk of your assets into stocks. Sooner or later, a portfolio of stocks or stock mutual funds will turn out to be a lot more valuable than a portfolio of bonds or CDs or money-market funds.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
Peter Lynch
Well, I think the secret is if you have a lot of stocks, some will do mediocre, some will do okay, and if one of two of 'em go up big time, you produce a fabulous result. And I think that's the promise to some people.
