Product Description

Product Description

Develop a Winning Investment Strategy -- with Expert Advice from "The Nation's #1 Money Manager"

Peter Lynch's "invest in what you know" strategy has made him a household name with investors both big and small.

An important key to investing, Lynch says, is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets. There's a company behind every stock and a reason companies -- and their stocks -- perform the way they do. In this book, newly revised and updated for the paperback edition, Peter Lynch shows you how you can become an expert in a company and how you can build a profitable investment portfolio, based on your own experience and insights and on straightforward do-it-yourself research. There's no reason the individual investor can't match wits with the experts, and this book will show you how.

In "Beating the Street, " Lynch for the first time:

* Explains how to devise a mutual fund strategy

* Shows how he goes about picking stocks, step-by-step

* Describes how the individual investor can improve his or her investment performance to rival that of the experts of the investment clubs.

Peter Lynch is successful at presenting a good explanation of the stock market and a good method at being successful with it. He is very entertaining and provides many examples through out the book explaining concepts, jargon, and his methods for the average person to understand. If you're interested in stocks or just curious I highly recommend this book.

A lot of people seem to be jumping into the stock market without investing much time in developing a working knowledge of trading. This book is a great starting point, and an interesting read.

A must read - it will steal you for the rocky markets
A cracking read, even for the beginner's investor. Loads of hints and tips for how to invest. My only suggestion is that you take a pen and paper and make notes throughout.

Not for beginners - very little useful info on investing
I bought Beating the Street based on the glowing reviews, thinking that it was a beginner's guide to the stock market. I'm afraid it's nothing of the sort. Read more
