In our society, it's been the men who've handled most of the finances, and the women who've stood by and watched men botch things up.

More quotes by 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
If you're prepared to invest in a company, then you ought to be able to explain why in simple language that a fifth grader could understand, and quickly enough so the fifth grader won't get bored.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
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
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.
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
When you start to confuse Freddie Mac, Sallie Mae and Fannie Mae with members of your family, and you remember 2,000 stock symbols but forget the children's birthdays, there's a good chance you've become too wrapped up in your work.
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'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
That's not to say there's no such thing as an overvalued market, but there's no point worrying about it.
Peter Lynch
The typical big winner in the Lynch portfolio generally takes three to ten years to play out.
Peter Lynch
You have to let the big ones make up for your mistakes.
Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
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
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
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
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 have to keep your priorities straight if you plan to do well in stocks.
Peter Lynch
The basic story remains simple and never-ending. Stocks aren't lottery tickets. There's a company attached to every share.
