More quotes by Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
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
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.

Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
Peter Lynch
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide is a choice and I think if we work with that with kids, we'll get somewhere.
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
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 real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.
Peter Lynch
There's lots of stocks out there and all you need is a few of 'em. That's been my philosophy.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Peter Lynch
I don't know anyone who said on their deathbed: 'Gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office.'
Peter Lynch
Invest in what you know.
Peter Lynch
In the long run, it's not just how much money you make that will determine your future prosperity. It's how much of that money you put to work by saving it and investing it.
