That's not to say there's no such thing as an overvalued market, but there's no point worrying about it.
Peter Lynch
Searching for companies is like looking for grubs under rocks: if you turn over 10 rocks you'll likely find one grub if you turn over 20 rocks you'll find two.
Peter Lynch
Most investors would be better off in an index fund.
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.

An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
Peter Lynch
The stock market really isn't a gamble, as long as you pick good companies that you think will do well, and not just because of the stock price.

Peter Lynch
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch

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.
Peter Lynch
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
My method for picking stocks has never changed. When businesses go from crappy to semicrappy, there's money to be made.
Peter Lynch
When management owns stock, then rewarding the shareholders becomes a first priority, whereas when management simply collects a paycheck, then increasing salaries becomes a first priority.
Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brainpower to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach. If you are susceptible to selling everything in a panic, you ought to avoid stocks and mutual funds altogether.
Peter Lynch
You have to let the big ones make up for your mistakes.
Peter Lynch
The biggest winners are surprises to me, and takeovers are even more surprising. It takes years, not months, to produce big results.
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.
