More quotes by Peter Lynch
More money is lost anticipating the changes in the overall stock market than any other way of investing.
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
Everyone has the brain power to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach.
Peter Lynch
You have to keep your priorities straight if you plan to do well in stocks.
Peter Lynch
In stocks as in romance, ease of divorce is not a sound basis for commitment.
Peter Lynch
Investing is fun and exciting, but dangerous if you don't do any work.
Peter Lynch
Equity mutual funds are the perfect solution for people who want to own stocks without doing their own research.
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
Long shots almost always miss the mark.
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
In the long run, it's not just how much money you make that will determine your future prosperity. It's how much of that money you put to work by saving it and investing it.
Peter Lynch
People who want to know how stocks fared on any given day ask, Where did the Dow close? I'm more interested in how many stocks went up versus how many went down. These so-called advance/decline numbers paint a more realistic picture.
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.
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
An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.
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
Time is on your side when you own shares of superior companies.
Peter Lynch
I spend about fifteen minutes a year on economic analysis.
Peter Lynch
In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination.
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.
