More quotes by Peter Lynch
Investing is fun and exciting, but dangerous if you don't do any work.
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
There's lots of stocks out there and all you need is a few of 'em. That's been my philosophy.
Peter Lynch
The best stock to buy is the one you already own.
Peter Lynch
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
In the long run, it's not just how much money you make that will determine your future prosperity. It's how much of that money you put to work by saving it and investing it.
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
Charts are great for predicting the past.
Peter Lynch
Improved turnout will give parliament and government the appearance of being more legitimate.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
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
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
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
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
My method for picking stocks has never changed. When businesses go from crappy to semicrappy, there's money to be made.
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 biggest winners are surprises to me, and takeovers are even more surprising. It takes years, not months, to produce big results.
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
It would be wonderful if we could avoid the setbacks with timely exits, but nobody has figured out how to predict them.
Peter Lynch
Invest in what you know.
