A lot of people got in at the wrong time. A lot of people did very well and some people said, This is it. I'll never get back in again. And they maybe meant it, but they probably got back in again anyway.

More quotes by Peter Lynch
Everyone has the brain power to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach.
Peter Lynch
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
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
Peter Lynch
In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination.
Peter Lynch
Invest in businesses any idiot could run, because someday one will.
Peter Lynch
Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.
Peter Lynch
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
You only need a few good stocks in your lifetime. I mean how many times do you need a stock to go up ten-fold to make a lot of money? Not a lot.
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
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
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
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
Peter Lynch
If you go to Minnesota in January, you should know that it's gonna be cold. You don't panic when the thermometer falls below zero.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
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
The stock market really isn't a gamble, as long as you pick good companies that you think will do well, and not just because of the stock price.
Peter Lynch
Spend at least as much time researching a stock as you would choosing a refrigerator.
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
There's lots of stocks out there and all you need is a few of 'em. That's been my philosophy.
Peter Lynch
There's no shame in losing money on a stock. Everybody does it. What is shameful is to hold on to a stock, or worse, to buy more of it when the fundamentals are deteriorating.
