More quotes by Peter Lynch
If you hope to have more money tomorrow than you have today, you've got to put a chunk of your assets into stocks. Sooner or later, a portfolio of stocks or stock mutual funds will turn out to be a lot more valuable than a portfolio of bonds or CDs or money-market funds.

Peter Lynch
In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination.
Peter Lynch
You can find good reasons to scuttle your equities in every morning paper and on every broadcast of the nightly news.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Peter Lynch
The typical big winner in the Lynch portfolio generally takes three to ten years to play out.
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
Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
Peter Lynch
You have to keep your priorities straight if you plan to do well in stocks.
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.

Everyone has the brain power to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach.
