When you sell in desperation, you always sell cheap.
Peter Lynch
I talk to hundreds of companies a year and spend hour after hour in heady pow-wows with CEOs, financial analysts and my colleagues in the mutual-fund business, but I stumble onto the big winners in extracurricular situations, the same way you do.

Invest in what you know.

People who want to know how stocks fared on any given day ask, Where did the Dow close? I'm more interested in how many stocks went up versus how many went down. These so-called advance/decline numbers paint a more realistic picture.
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
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
Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
