Product Description

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING BOOK THAT EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD OWN

Peter Lynch is America's number-one money manager. His mantra: Average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick winning stocks as effectively as Wall Street professionals by doing just a little research.

Now, in a new introduction written specifically for this edition of One Up on Wall Street, Lynch gives his take on the incredible rise of Internet stocks, as well as a list of twenty winning companies of high-tech '90s. That many of these winners are low-tech supports his thesis that amateur investors can continue to reap exceptional rewards from mundane, easy-to-understand companies they encounter in their daily lives.

Investment opportunities abound for the layperson, Lynch says. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your immediate world -- from the mall to the workplace -- you can discover potentially successful companies before professional analysts do. This jump on the experts is what produces "tenbaggers," the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.

The former star manager of Fidelity's multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund, Lynch reveals how he achieved his spectacular record. Writing with John Rothchild, Lynch offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots by reviewing a company's financial statements and by identifying which numbers really count. He explains how to stalk tenbaggers and lays out the guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.

Lynch promises that if you ignore the ups and downs of the market and the endless speculation about interest rates, in the long term (anywhere from five to fifteen years) your portfolio will reward you. This advice has proved to be timeless and has made One Up on Wall Street a number-one bestseller. And now this classic is as valuable in the new millennium as ever.

5 out of 5 stars The only stock market book you need   July 8, 2010
Yisrael Dubov (Orlando)
This is for sure the only stock market guide you'll ever need. Everything about this book is great! from the order of how everything was said, to the comedy in his words, and just the way he explained everything. It was very well done! This book goes in my top 3 best stock investing books. (The others are "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham, and "Common stocks and Uncommon profits" by Phillip Fischer)

Wishing you much success in your investments!!



5 out of 5 stars Good introduction to value investing   June 22, 2010
Christopher Chamberlain
This book was recommended to me by a friend as an introduction to fundamental analysis. I found it to be a fun read (Peter has a good sense of humor) and also very informational. The principles explained in the book are all very useful to anyone looking to invest or trade. I strongly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Good Advice   May 26, 2010
Man of La Book (NJ USA)
This is a short book, but long on advice even, and especially, after the financial meltdown. It took me about 40 - 45 minutes to go through the book, but I'll read it again tomorrow and maybe again next week allowing the content to set in.

The book is a fun read and gives novices, such as myself, some basic fundamentals and concepts before we rush in (again) to lose our money (again) while the big boys rake all the profits (again) in the casino we all know as the stock market. There is no specific advice in this book other than to spend as much time researching a stock as you would buying a new refrigerator; however I found the general concepts interesting and informative.

But reader beware, even though the book is short Lynch does get the point across that choosing your own stocks is and making money is a combination of perspiration and luck. I've made the mistake of rushing in to buy a certain stock that was "hot", sometimes it worked out but mostly I lost money.



5 out of 5 stars If You Don't Even Know Peter Lynch You ARE the sucker at the table   April 18, 2010

Okay, so you want to get started in the stock market, don't you? Maybe you need to remember that it is possible to still "value a business" and not just feel like after twenty years of good honest, intense "trials and tribulations" we are still getting screwed?

Remember Lunch but don't jump in the game now if you don't know why I'm grounding myself in writing and reading and a wonderful weekend somewhere in America.

Anyhow, I hope to speak with Paul Coffey the next time I'm town. I've been formulating a really compelling way of viewing the Bill of Rights and would be interested in what he thinks.



3 out of 5 stars An a bit out-of-date and unfocused   March 11, 2010
J. A. Sandberg
This book offers general concepts more so than specific technique. If you are looking for a book about the creature called "fundamental analysis," you may find the last half of this book interesting. However, if you want specific, practical advice you will be disappointed in the vagueness of the author. The only detailed bullets occur in chapters 15 and 17--all of 20 pages long, and even there the bullets are really just key points about indicators (things to watch for). How to calculate, how to interpret the value of, and where to find the indicators is left to the reader. Even, with his several page long description of price-to-earnings ratio (pp165-173), he ultimately advises, "Once again, your broker may be your best source for p/e analysis." (p. 170)

20/20 hindsight seems to be his emphasis throughout. He offers many, many just imagine if... anecdotes--both supporting and refuting his advice. As a result, contractions invade throughout. For example, he calls "Whisper Stocks" a bad investment (pp 157-159). Okay. Then he regretted missing Cisco in 1990 when they were just a start-up. Why? Because looking back, he could have make $480 for every $1 invested (Intro). But wait, it was a "whisper stock" in 1990. He is against "diworsefication" (p 153), unless the stock price goes up afterwards (pp 154-157). Then he laments buying into an IPO with solid fundamentals and a smart business plan. Why? The expansion failed and he lost money (pp 180-182). Since most of the book is about finding young companies early (Street Lag, p 57) with solid fundamentals (ch 8-15) and taking a chance that they will grow maybe 10-fold (ch 6), his lament is lost on me.

There are some saving graces to this book. The author does a decent job defending the importance of researching and understanding what a company does before investing. Frankly, there are better books out there about investing for beginners and experts alike. The financial advice industry has evolved over the past twenty years, and this million seller just doesn't stack up. I would recommend instead reading any Suzie Orman, Phil Town's "Rule #1," Bartiromo's "Use The News," or anything about Warren Buffet.
