More quotes by Peter Lynch
The best stock to buy is the one you already own.
Peter Lynch
If you can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money in the bank until you discover some.
Peter Lynch
Invest in what you know.
Peter Lynch
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
As I look back on it now, it's obvious that studying history and philosophy was much better preparation for the stock market than, say, studying statistics.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
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
Charts are great for predicting the past.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Peter Lynch
My high-tech aversion caused me to make fun of the typical biotech enterprise: $100 million in cash from selling shares, one hundred Ph.D.'s, 99 microscopes, and zero revenues.
Peter Lynch
Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
Peter Lynch
More money is lost anticipating the changes in the overall stock market than any other way of investing.
Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
Peter Lynch
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.'
Peter Lynch
Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Peter Lynch
In the long run, a portfolio of well chosen stocks and/or equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won't outperform the money left under the mattress.
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
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
Investing is fun and exciting, but dangerous if you don't do any work.
