Peter Lynch on Beating the Street 9



“Corporations, like people, change their names for one of two reasons: either they’ve gotten married, or they’ve been involved in some fiasco that they hope the public will forget.”

“During periods when mutual funds are popular, investing in the companies that sell the funds is likely to be more rewarding than investing in their products. I’m reminded that in the Gold Rush the people who sold picks and shovels did better than the prospectors.”


“As the price of the stock rose, the Wall Street analysts increased their earnings estimates for the company. This is an example of tailoring the means to fit the ends.”
