Beating the Street

by Peter Lynch

Instead, he argues that every stock represents a real company with understandable reasons for its performance. Lynch teaches readers how to become experts in individual companies through personal experience and simple research methods. He provides his step-by-step approach for selecting stocks and explains how to create an effective mutual fund strategy. Lynch demonstrates how ordinary investors can build profitable portfolios using their own insights and observations. The book shows individual investors how to match the performance of professional money managers through disciplined research and clear thinking about business fundamentals.
