More quotes by Peter Lynch
In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination.
Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.
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
An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
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
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch
Invest in businesses any idiot could run, because someday one will.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
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
I don't go near the money and the money doesn't go near me.
