More than one million copies have been sold of this seminal book on investing in which legendary mutual-fund manager Peter Lynch explains the advantages that average investors have over professionals and how they can use these advantages to achieve financial success.
America’s most successful money manager tells how average investors can beat the pros by using what they know. According to Lynch, investment opportunities are everywhere. From the supermarket to the workplace, we encounter products and services all day long. By paying attention to the best ones, we can find companies in which to invest before the professional analysts discover them. When investors get in early, they can find the “tenbaggers,” the stocks that appreciate tenfold from the initial investment. A few tenbaggers will turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.
Lynch offers easy-to-follow advice for sorting out the long shots from the no-shots by reviewing a company’s financial statements and knowing which numbers really count. He offers guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.
As long as you invest for the long term, Lynch says, your portfolio can reward you. This timeless advice has made One Up on Wall Street a #1 bestseller and a classic book of investment know-how.

    ometime in the next month, year, or three years, the market will decline sharply.
    • Market declines are great opportunities to buy stocks in companies you like. Corrections—Wall Street’s definition of going down a lot—push outstanding companies to bargain prices.
    • Trying to predict the direction of the market over one year, or even two years, is impossible.
    • To come out ahead you don’t have to be right all the time, or even a majority of the time.
    • The biggest winners are surprises to me, and takeovers are even more surprising. It takes years, not months, to produce big results.
    • Different categories of stocks have different risks and rewards.
    • You can make serious money by compounding a series of 20–30 percent gains in stalwarts.
    • Stock prices often move in opposite directions from the fundamentals but long term, the direction and sustainability of profits will prevail.
    • Just because a company is doing poorly doesn’t mean it can’t do worse.
