Peter Lynch Quotes

If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds Picture Quote #1

Just because you buy a stock and it goes up does not mean you are right. Just because you buy a stock and it goes down does not mean you are wrong Picture Quote #1

There is always something to worry about. Avoid weekend thinking and ignoring the latest dire predictions of the newscasters. Sell a stock because the company’s fundamentals deteriorate, not because the sky is falling Picture Quote #1

All the time and effort people devote to picking the right fund, the hot hand, the great manager have, in most cases, led to no advantage Picture Quote #1

When management owns stock, then rewarding the shareholders becomes a first priority, whereas when management simply collects a paycheck, then increasing salaries becomes a first priority Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you’re lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increasing it or to let what you’ve accumulated begin to serve you Picture Quote #1

When people discover they are no good at baseball or hockey, they put away their bats and their skates and they take up amateur golf or stamp collecting or gardening. But when people discover they are no good at picking stocks, they are likely to continue to do it anyway Picture Quote #1

Often, there is no correlation between the success of a company’s operations and the success of its stock over a few months or even a few years. In the long term, there is a 100 percent correlation between the success of the company and the success of its stock. This disparity is the key to making money; it pays to be patient, and to own successful companies Picture Quote #1

There’s no use diversifying into unknown companies just for the sake of diversity. A foolish diversity is the hobgoblin of small investors. That said, it isn’t safe to own just one stock, because in spite of your best efforts, the one you choose might be the victim of unforeseen circumstances. In small portfolios, I’d be comfortable owning between three and ten stocks Picture Quote #1

What makes stocks valuable in the long run isn’t the market. It’s the profitability of the shares in the companies you own. As corporate profits increase, corporations become more valuable and sooner or later, their shares will sell for a higher price Picture Quote #1
