Peter Lynch
You can't see the future through a rearview mirror
Peter Lynch
Invest in businesses any idiot could run, because someday one will.
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
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?

Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
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.

What makes stocks valuable in the long run isn't the market. It's the profitability of the shares in the companies you own. As corporate profits increase, corporations become more valuable and sooner or later, their shares will sell for a higher price.
Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
Peter Lynch
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
Peter Lynch
The list of qualities (an investor should have) include patience, self-reliance, common sense, a tolerance for pain, open-mindedness, detachment, persistence, humility, flexibility, a willingness to do independent research, an equal willingness to admit mistakes, and the ability to ignore general panic.
Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.
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 have to keep your priorities straight if you plan to do well in stocks.
Peter Lynch
As I look back on it now, it's obvious that studying history and philosophy was much better preparation for the stock market than, say, studying statistics.
Peter Lynch
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.
