More quotes by Peter Lynch
More money is lost anticipating the changes in the overall stock market than any other way of investing.
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
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
Equity mutual funds are the perfect solution for people who want to own stocks without doing their own research.
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

I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
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.
Peter Lynch
I'm always fully invested. It's a great feeling to be caught with your pants up.
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 can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money in the bank until you discover some.
Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
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.
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
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Peter Lynch
Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Peter Lynch
The best stock to buy is the one you already own.
Peter Lynch
If you're lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increasing it or to let what you've accumulated begin to serve you.
Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
