๐ง Peter Lynch: Investor
Insight
✅ 1. Invest in What You Know
๐ฃ️ “Know what you own,
and know why you own it.”
Lynch encouraged everyday people to invest in companies they
already use in real life — like brands you shop from, apps you use, or products
your kids love.
๐ Example: If your
family loves Starbucks or uses Apple products, those are worth researching as
possible investments.
๐ 2. Do Your Homework
Lynch believed in researching companies before
investing:
- Read
the financials ๐
- Study
the business model ๐ผ
- Understand
its growth potential ๐
He didn’t buy blindly — even if he liked the product, he
studied if the company was profitable and growing.
๐ 3. Look for
“Tenbaggers”
A "tenbagger" is a stock that increases 10
times in value. Lynch loved finding small companies with big growth
potential.
๐ฃ️ “The person that turns
over the most rocks wins the game.”
๐ He searched for undervalued
companies that could explode in value over the years.
⏱️ 4. Long-Term Patience
Lynch held stocks for the long term — he didn’t try to time
the market.
๐ฃ️ “The real key to
making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.”
He said most people lose money because they panic and sell
too early.
๐ 5. Categories of Stocks
Lynch grouped stocks into 6 categories. This helped him know
what to expect from each one:
