One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market

Investing can be a daunting task, especially when competing with professional investors. However, America's most successful money manager, Peter Lynch, believes that average investors can beat the pros by using their everyday experiences and knowledge. According to Lynch, investment opportunities are all around us, from the products we encounter in the supermarket to the services offered in our workplaces. By paying attention to the best ones, we can find companies in which to invest before professional analysts discover them. Investing in such companies early on may lead to a significant appreciation in stock value, and investors may even come across "tenbaggers," stocks that appreciate tenfold from the initial investment. A few tenbaggers in an investor's portfolio can turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.
