Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch is the legendary stock picker who from 1977-1990 managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund, the best performer in mutual funds over that period. He is currently Vice-Chair at Fidelity. Peter Lynch believes that amateur investors can outperform Wall Street experts since the best investing clues can be found at the mall, on the school playground, or at people's workplace. He explains that kids have a chance to learn about successful companies in their daily lives before Wall Street analysts find out about the companies. The Wall Street guru says that the secret to his success is his ability to "think like an amateur." He offers a common-sense approach to stock picking: Know "everything about a company, before buying a stock--then follow the story after buying the stock," he says. "Don't sell the stock if the story is still good whether the market is up or down." Mr. Lynch wins praise from his audiences for simplifying the overwhelming world of picking stocks. He explains the game in clear and simple terms, and he has proven that his techniques work for the major players on Wall Street.
