While this is a good read, it's specific to Peter Lynch's personal investing style and dated enough that it's not entirely applicable anymore, so it is better read as a history or biography of Lynch's investing style than a guide on how to make personal investment decisions today. There's a forward written in 2000 in which Lynch provides one update to his material, but there should have been many more (such as noting what kinds of company information is no longer allowed to be provided only to i...more

A very helpful book for those who want to gain some basic knowledge about how stocks work in the financial market and how to select the best portfolio of securities. Lynch shared his experiences and told us how he felt or how he dealt with losses and success when investing. I personally liked this book and he made these seemingly difficult concepts so much easier!

Regular re-read (every 5-10 years) of one of my two favorite investment books. (The other one is by the same author.).
Peter Lynch was the greatest mutual fund investor of all time growing his Magellan fund to over $1 billion. His investment style is a combination of growth and value investing, so called GARP--growth at a reasonable price.
While he made most of the money in big cap stocks like Wal-Mart or turnarounds like Volvo, Ford and Chrysler, he loved investing in small caps. This book cove

Kindle Unlimited...so why not? Yup, I am old enough to remember Lynch's status in the world of stock pickers. I was not lucky enough to have a wad of money to invest in his fund early on, but those who did must continue to sing his praises.
I didn't read this when it first came out, but now with updated prologue it does provide some amusing tidbits. This man still uses the phrase dot com. Goodness me! I really have no idea how he has managed to avoid the internet all these decades, but that seem

I originally picked this book because after I read a lot about Warren Buffett's investing I decided to see other people's style. This was a good read but it was specific to Lynch's style so it was not applicable to today's investment decisions. Peter describes how he came about developing his strategy for success. He talks about his past, his victories, and some of his failures. He describes everything that happened in an easy way to read. Anyone, including non-financial folks, can understand t...more

This is a short book, but long on advice even, and especially, after the financial meltodown. 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 speci

This was an assigned book for my MBA class in Securities Analysis. I learned from this book that the average (non-institutional) investor can pick winning stocks with the same success as professionals can. I am unsure about this, as I am highly skeptical any investor (professional or amateur) can beat the market. As a proponent of indexing - the idea that a broadly diversified fund invested in a basket of stocks - can beat actively managed funds, I found Lynch's advice not completely believable....more
The best book on stocks and markets anyone can get their hands on. The book gives Wonderful insights into studying diferent businesses and then going after stocks. Easy Read and Interesting examples makes this book, one of the pioneers in this field of study.

This is one of my favorite financial advice books ever.
Peter Lynch was a genius of his time. His detractors can argue the reasons WHY he was successful (luck, timing, etc.) but it is hard to argue with the fact that he was immensely successful.
In this now famous book, Peter describes how he came about developing his strategy for success. He talks about his past, his victories, and some of his failures. He describes everything that happened in an easy to read, colloquial sort of way. Anyone, inc

Very interesting read on Peter Lynch's investment techniques. Good amount of basics and a somewhat more aggressive approach as compared to conservative, academic, stick to indexing approach.
It also helps that the author is at times funny and most of the times makes the content easier to read for people with not much knowledge of economics and finance.
First book I haven't been able to finish in a while. It was outdated before the current financial collapse, now it's just stupid to read. Plus Peter Lynch likes himself way too much. Pass on this one and bury your money in the backyard.

A book with light humor... A beginner book for personal stock investment.

Peter Lynch does such a great job explaining how you do not have to work on Wall Street to be successful in the stock market. One Up on Wall Street provides a great overall foundation for investing and how people can utilize companies they know/understand and products they use and enjoy to make successful investments before the stock catches the attention of the large institutional investors. Lynch stated you only have to be right six out of ten times to be successful in the stock market, and a...more

Recently got into investing and this book was a solid start. The best way to learn is from the masters, right?
Lynch is one of those people who seems like a stand up guy. He was not overly smart or special in any kind of way when he started to invest. He was in some ways struggling and hoping for something better in life. He actually even made me laugh when he mentioned you should find some stupid sounding companies to invest in before they get discovered by Wall Street investors.

Peter Lynch likes Math more than he's willing to admit. I picked up his book because a friend told me that this guy is a value investor (And he is).
A few important points.
1. If the below equation returns value 3 or more, you've found a really good stock (Ofcourse, you need to follow many other data points).
(EPS Growth [Compounded for last three years]+Div Yield)/PE
2. Earnings are the biggest predictor of price movement. Options/Futures ought to be banned.

Note: This review appeared in a financial newsletter I contributed to. It follows the review for Beating the Street which you may want to read first.
In our last issue I introduced you to Peter Lynch, the dynamic former portfolio manager for the spectacularly successful Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund in the United States. And we introduced you to some of Lynch’s ideas and beliefs, most importantly his view that any reasonably intelligent person can beat the average Wall Street expert. In fact, Lyn

Wonderful book to start with to understand investing. Has to be read twice, thrice and even more times to understand his beautiful philosophy of stocks/ businesses.
If everyone will look for tenbaggers who would create those in the first place? Well, though several minutes and recalled somewhere saw that financial and business billionaires are 50/50 (in U.S.), so probably everything's ok, no matter what you do, you still need to go to a lot of the shit.
Pretty good introduction to value investing

Lynch books are light and easy reads and while the fundamentals of this book are mostly accurate he bites his own hand talking about supposedly great companies who we now know are out of business like Toys R Us, who he brings up repeatedly. Also if you followed the principles of this book you never would've invested in Amazon or Google due to their crazy p/e ratios.
He writes this: If I could avoid a single stock, it would be the hottest stock in the hottest industry, the one that gets the most f

Quick easy read. Heavy emphasis on simple concepts and ideas about investing. A few more complex details are clearly explained too.
Just the book to start with for an aspiring investor. The amount of insight this book imparts in simple and easy to understand themes is invaluable. The rules, checklists and wisdom of lynch is inspiring.
My truthful opinoin of this book would be that the basics outline and concepts are still in play as of 2017, but how they impacted on his life doesnt concern me in the least and will never matter as time goes by...
One Up On Wall Street by John Rothchild was a great read about how to improve and increase your knowledge when it comes to the stock market and investment everywhere. It tells about where to how to effectively buy stocks and he gives lots of personal stories and descriptions of his process of making these investments. Along with the advice on how to invest he explains some of the systems in place. These include what you are actually buying when you purchase stock. This is a stake in the company...more

More like a 3.7/5.
It's an exceptional book if it's the first one your reading on investing. But for someone who has read other material such as by Ben Graham will find a good part of this book rudimentary.
The book is divided into 3 parts, the 1st part is essentially very basic. I actually would have preferred it as my introduction to investment material. The 2nd part does a good job of providing for ways in which investment potentials can be classified. Finally, the 3rd part does a good job of

A good beginners guide from the 'greatest Mutual fund manager ' peter lynch. It gives amateurs the confidence that we can play the market and beat the odds.
My favorite quotes are
1. Investing without research is playing a stud poker and never looking at the cards.
2.Only invest what you could afford to lose without that loss having any effect on your daily life in the foreseeable future.
3. When you pick your own stocks, you ought to outperform the experts. Otherwise, why bother?

The incredible ease with which one can read this book meant that it far outpaced the Buffett biography. It's basically cliff notes for how to assess various stocks. He explains fundamentals like p/e ratio and market cap and tells you what to look for when considering adding a company to your portfolio.
As I mentioned, it is dated -- he comments on the trendiness of acid wash jeans and the absolute strength of the newspaper industry and GE. But that almost makes the book's lessons more valuable.
