Fund legend Peter Lynch combined 2 investing styles to earn 29% per year from ⁠1977 to 1990 — here's how you can apply the same market-trouncing technique today

“GARP” — growth at a reasonable price

“Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections than lost in the corrections themselves”.

Timing the market is a fool’s errand. Not even investment legends could accurately predict the onset of recessions or the end of bull markets.

Lynch focused on defensive growth companies that would see their earnings rise despite market corrections.

Boring companies with competitive advantages and steady growth were a prime target during recessions. Demand for their goods and services is likely to remain robust regardless of the market cycle.

Fidelity legend Peter Lynch: 'I never said to invest in the stock market'

by Kerry Hannon

“So the reason I wrote 'One Up On Wall Street' was to help people that wanted to do investing. I'm not saying do it, but if you do it, there's a certain way to do it. If you don't do it that way, you probably are gonna have an unfortunate outcome,” said Lynch, now 79.

His secret to success, ‘buy what you know,’ was the kind of common sense explanation most people could understand and act on without any special insider periscope. What goods and services are you and your family and friends buying? Use that as clues to start doing some homework to learn more about the company.

You have to ask: What’s the inning of the ball game?

One way I did well was buying small companies.

You have to do the work and use your brain, but who's got the stomach when something bad happens.

“The trick is not to learn to trust your gut feelings but rather to discipline yourself to ignore them.

Stand by your stocks as long as the fundamental story of the company hasn’t changed.”
