Key Takeaway
Behind every stock is a company. Investigate what the company does, whether it is well-run, and whether the stock price makes sense relative to earnings growth. The amateur investor who does basic homework has advantages that most professionals lack.
The Review
Peter Lynch's sequel to One Up on Wall Street is even more practical than the original. Beating the Street walks readers through Lynch's actual stock-picking process during his final years managing the Magellan Fund. He covers how he researched and selected specific companies, how he managed the portfolio, and the lessons he learned from both his winners and losers. Lynch also shares his approach to picking stocks for the Barron's Roundtable and managing his personal retirement portfolio. For investors who want to learn stock picking from the greatest mutual fund manager of all time, this is the masterclass.
