More quotes by Peter Lynch
In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination.
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
People who want to know how stocks fared on any given day ask, Where did the Dow close? I'm more interested in how many stocks went up versus how many went down. These so-called advance/decline numbers paint a more realistic picture.
Peter Lynch
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
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
The real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.
Peter Lynch
I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won't get there by reading 'Now is the time to buy.'
Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.

My high-tech aversion caused me to make fun of the typical biotech enterprise: $100 million in cash from selling shares, one hundred Ph.D.'s, 99 microscopes, and zero revenues.
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
Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brain power to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach.
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
I don't know anyone who said on their deathbed: 'Gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office.'
Peter Lynch
In the long run, a portfolio of well chosen stocks and/or equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won't outperform the money left under the mattress.
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
Investing is fun and exciting, but dangerous if you don't do any work.
Peter Lynch
Most investors would be better off in an index fund.
Peter Lynch
Invest in what you know.
