More quotes by Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Peter Lynch
What makes stocks valuable in the long run isn't the market. It's the profitability of the shares in the companies you own. As corporate profits increase, corporations become more valuable and sooner or later, their shares will sell for a higher price.
Peter Lynch
All you need for a lifetime of successful investing is a few big winners, and the pluses from those will overwhelm the minuses from the stocks that don't work out.
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
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Peter Lynch
The basic story remains simple and never-ending. Stocks aren't lottery tickets. There's a company attached to every share.
Peter Lynch
There's no shame in losing money on a stock. Everybody does it. What is shameful is to hold on to a stock, or worse, to buy more of it when the fundamentals are deteriorating.
Peter Lynch
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Suicide is a choice and I think if we work with that with kids, we'll get somewhere.
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
Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.
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
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
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
More money is lost anticipating the changes in the overall stock market than any other way of investing.
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
The worst thing you can do is invest in companies you know nothing about. Unfortunately, buying stocks on ignorance is still a popular American pastime.
Peter Lynch
Time is on your side when you own shares of superior companies.
Peter Lynch
The typical big winner in the Lynch portfolio generally takes three to ten years to play out.
Peter Lynch
You can't see the future through a rearview mirror
