Peter Lynch believes that average investors have advantages over Wall Street experts. Since the best opportunities can be found at the local mall or in their own places of employment, beginners have the chance to learn about potentially successful companies long before before professional analysts discover them. This headstart on the experts is what produces 'tenbaggers', the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer. In this fully updated edition of his classic bestseller, Lynch explains how to research stocks and offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots. He also provides valuable advice on how to learn as much as possible from a company's story, and why every investor must ignore the ups and downs of the stock market and focus only on the fundamentals of the company in which they are investing.

A Must-Read for those interested in Investing

17 May 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I heard about this book from various places and it seems to be highly recommended for anyone interested in investing. Lynch is well known for his "invest in what you know" mantra, and even though some take it as justification to invest in whatever company they simply "feel good about," Lynch is nowhere near as reckless in his book and even warns against it.

His main premise is that individuals, such as me and you, take part in the economy and are well aware of new trends and investing opportunities. By being aware and doing diligent homework before investing, you can find numerous "baggers" - stocks which increase by multiples over time - that can make you quite wealthy. In fact, Lynch points out this gives the average person an edge against professional investors, thus giving the book it's title. Throughout the book he details his ideas and methods for analyzing companies and serves as a good foundation to the value oriented investors. The author also seems to have a good sense of humor (like Buffett) which makes the book joyful to read.

The only downside of the book which I can find is that it is a bit outdated as it was written decades ago. Much has happened since then such as the dotcom bubble and the 2008 recession. But I find this a minor issue as the lessons and techniques detailed in the book are general enough to apply broadly. It in no way takes anything away from the quality of the book.

A Blast of Wisdom

16 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

So, here we have an artisan unveiling the secrets about his craft. I really could not provide enough praise to this piece. I guess all I can say is that this book made it to my car...and stayed! Many books have taken a couple of rides with me in my car just to return to the shelf. I just happen to have two little kids (4 and 2) so I have spent a lot of time in my car during the last 4 years (you know, to get them to nap). So, as they nap, I read. And the read better be good, because I don’t have a lot of time for it.

Now, back to the book. This book is known for emphasizing some of the advantages that individual investors have (say, over institutional ones) when it comes to finding investment opportunities. One of these advantages relates to the fact that -due to mandate or sheer size- institutional managers cannot even start considering investing in small caps. This leads to a second advantage, which is that individual investors can find very attractive opportunities by just looking around them. This advantage is even more true today considering the easy access everybody has to stock and company related data.

This is one of those books where, If you randomly pick a paragraph on any page, it will find a way to keep you engaged. The writing style is just too good. And I think it is that good because this man is pure wisdom. He could sit in front of me for the rest of my life and that probably would not be enough time for him to pass on all his knowledge. He was an investor, a trader, an equity analyst, a portfolio manager, and a businessman all in one. Incredible!

The three sections I found most valuable are these:

1- company/stock classification (slow/fast growers, stalwarts, turnarounds, etc)
2- description of the characteristics of a fast grower or 10-bagger.
3- details of the effect of interest rates on the markets’ historical P/E ratio.

Do yourself a favor a read this book. You won’t regret it.

I still think its a great book, but he is giving the average individual ...

16 January 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

I originally read this when I was just getting started in a finance career in the early 1990s. I credit this book as one of the key reasons I became excited about the stock market. After 27 years as a stock analyst, I decided to read it again.

I still think its a great book, but he is giving the average individual investor too much credit on being able to interpret what the financial statements are really saying and how to think about valuation of the stock. I really like his take on being aware of what you are seeing and hearing around you (not on TV or the web) as you walk through the mall to see the hot stores with the crowds, listen to your kids on hot products or fashions, etc. But once you get these ideas and then analyze the financial statements and valuation, most will want to also bounce the idea off a professional (financial adviser) or at least use a quantitative service like zacks.

Fun to read and not overly technical

25 November 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Awesome book if you're getting started investing or a seasoned veteran. This is a much easier read than the intelligent investor. I had a fun time reading this book, Peter does not get too technical explaining anything and really gives you insight to how he invested when he ran The Magellan fund at Fidelity. You will learn about P/e ratios and other basic fundamentals to look for in companies without getting into dry details. Pretty easy read, under 4 hours for your average reader.

Reasonable Reviewer

A good first Peter Lynch primer, good info for the large investor

15 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This is a very good book, and if you have not read any of Peter Lynch's previous books, this is a good one to start with.

That said, much of this book is repeated in his other books.

It is a fun, interesting, and potentially useful book if you are interested in high level investing. This book has less useful advice for the small investor than some of this other books.

Mr. Lynch's writing style is engaging and interesting.

All in all, a good book.
