Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.
Peter Lynch
You have to let the big ones make up for your mistakes.
Peter Lynch
If you spend more than 13 minutes analyzing economic and market forecasts, you've wasted 10 minutes
Peter Lynch
I don't know anyone who said on their deathbed: 'Gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office.'
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 like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
Peter Lynch
Investing is fun and exciting, but dangerous if you don't do any work.
Peter Lynch
An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
