More quotes by Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.
Peter Lynch
Equity mutual funds are the perfect solution for people who want to own stocks without doing their own research.
Peter Lynch
I'm always fully invested. It's a great feeling to be caught with your pants up.
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
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
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
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 spend more than 13 minutes analyzing economic and market forecasts, you've wasted 10 minutes
Peter Lynch
The best stock to buy is the one you already own.
Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
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
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
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
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
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
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
You can't see the future through a rearview mirror
Peter Lynch
A lot of people got in at the wrong time. A lot of people did very well and some people said, This is it. I'll never get back in again. And they maybe meant it, but they probably got back in again anyway.
