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

Peter Lynch
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch
Your ultimate success or failure will depend on your ability to ignore the worries of the world long enough to allow your investments to succeed.
Peter Lynch
If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds.
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.
Peter Lynch
Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
Peter Lynch
