Synopsis

Legendary money manager Peter Lynch explains his own strategies for investing and offers advice for how to pick stocks and mutual funds to assemble a successful investment portfolio.

Develop a Winning Investment Strategy—with Expert Advice from “The Nation’s #1 Money Manager.” Peter Lynch’s “invest in what you know” strategy has made him a household name with investors both big and small.

An important key to investing, Lynch says, is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets. There’s a company behind every stock and a reason companies—and their stocks—perform the way they do. In this book, Peter Lynch shows you how you can become an expert in a company and how you can build a profitable investment portfolio, based on your own experience and insights and on straightforward do-it-yourself research.

In Beating the Street, Lynch for the first time explains how to devise a mutual fund strategy, shows his step-by-step strategies for picking stock, and describes how the individual investor can improve his or her investment performance to rival that of the experts.

There’s no reason the individual investor can’t match wits with the experts, and this book will show you how.

Goodreads review by George on August 27, 2016

Regular re-read (every 5-10 years) of one of my two favorite investment books. (The other one is by the same author--the greatest mutual fund manager of all time). It's got everything you need to know about investing in stocks not by using some seat-of-the-pants method but by analyzing the company a......more

Invest in What You Know and Like and Understand! “Twenty years in this business convinces me that any normal person using the customary three percent of the brain can pick stocks as well as, if not better, than the average Wall Street expert.” - Peter Lynch One of the wisest money managers of all time......more

Goodreads review by Eugene Tan on August 14, 2015

Unlike his other 2 books (One up on Wall Street & Learn to Earn), I had chosen to give this book 3 stars instead due to my own inability to relate much to the examples cited in the book. Overall, it was still a relatively easy read. I gave this book 3 stars as I had several difficulties in relating......more
