Description To Books Beating the Street

I think there were 3 purposes of this book.

1 - Get you excited to invest in stocks
2 - Teach you to invest in what you know
3 - Teach you to invest regularly and avoid psychological pitfalls

If you look at it as analysis on companies, it makes no sense, as it was written in the early '90's and not only are his analysis no longer accurate, some of the companies don't even exist in the same form.

What you should look at is his methodology of gaining information and researching companies. His excitement is meant to get you excited.

It works. I am excited to invest. The book club that read this is forming an investment club to begin investing, so I can't really speak poorly of the book.

Criticism Appertaining To Books Beating the Street

Overall, really easy to read, enjoyable book to understand the thinking of a brilliant investor like Peter Lynch. Key takeaway from this book was a lot of Lynchs philosophy of choosing undervalued stocks based on really simple business logic beyond numbers, something that probably should be more heavily emphasised in the financial world today. May be a bit technical when it comes to financial ratios and analysis, but understandable even for new investors.

Regular re-read (every 5-10 years) of one of my two favorite investment books. (The other one is by the same author--the greatest mutual fund manager of all time). It's got everything you need to know about investing in stocks not by using some seat-of-the-pants method but by analyzing the company and its business. It's a must read for everyone who wants to buy individual stocks of any kind. Enjoy!

Valuable principles with an interesting perspective. However, this book often feels a bit dated. I also did not feel the advice applies to the everyday trader as much as it claims.

Invest in What You Know and Like and Understand!Twenty years in this business convinces me that any normal person using the customary three percent of the brain can pick stocks as well as, if not better, than the average Wall Street expert. - Peter LynchOne of the wisest money managers of all time is Peter Lynch, the one-time portfolio manager of the spectacularly successful Fidelity Magellan Fund. He managed that fund for thirteen years and a thousand dollars invested in it when he started in

You will get blown away by Peter Lynch's enthusiasm about stocks and stock-picking. Definitely a must read for any amateur of professional interested or dealing with stocks.

Enjoy the thrilling journey, continued from One Up on Wall St, Lynch goes in detail of retail/restaurant stocks and portfolio construction strategy.

If you've already read Learn to Earn(in case you're an amateur like me) and One Up On Wall Street, then there's not really much new in this for you. You can simply skip this one.
