More quotes by Peter Lynch
Invest in businesses any idiot could run, because someday one will.
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 the summer of 1990, I was buying stocks and I was probably three or four months early there. But we had a great rally in 1991.

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 worst thing you can do is invest in companies you know nothing about. Unfortunately, buying stocks on ignorance is still a popular American pastime.
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
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
Everyone has the brainpower to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach. If you are susceptible to selling everything in a panic, you ought to avoid stocks and mutual funds altogether.
Peter Lynch
Charts are great for predicting the past.
Peter Lynch
I don't go near the money and the money doesn't go near me.
Peter Lynch
When you start to confuse Freddie Mac, Sallie Mae and Fannie Mae with members of your family, and you remember 2,000 stock symbols but forget the children's birthdays, there's a good chance you've become too wrapped up in your work.
Peter Lynch
I'm always fully invested. It's a great feeling to be caught with your pants up.
Peter Lynch
If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
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
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
Peter Lynch
Never buy anything that you can't illustrate on the back of a napkin.
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
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.

Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
