Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Peter Lynch
Just because you buy a stock and it goes up does not mean you are right. Just because you buy a stock and it goes down does not mean you are wrong.

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
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.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Peter Lynch
