Peter Lynch
You have to let the big ones make up for your mistakes.
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
The best stock to buy is the one you already own.
Peter Lynch
I've always been a great lover of baseball.
