Easy to read, very didactic, very comprehensive, making the nitty-gritty of fundamental investing very thought provoking. This was my second book about investing. I now have read more than 103. This is still my favorite book, Warren Buffett likes it a lot.
I owe Mr. Lynch a lot of my financial success but what I really want to thank him for is his philosophical, religious education and well founded belief system without whom Peter S. Lynch would not have been the hardest working and successful portfolio manager in history.

It should be a shame for you if you are an investor and have not read this book yet, you surely are losing money in the market! Lynch has a colloquial style, he also writes with no technical jargon, in plain English, so there is no excuse to not understand his investing philosophy. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. For the record, I am in no way involved with Lynch or its publishing company. |

I have had Lynch's One Up On Wall Street for a while, but have only now gotten around to reading it. I am sure glad that I have. With many of the other investment books you are told a general how to, and then left with nothing. This isn't the case with Lynch, who takes the time to explain the benefit of the P/E, who takes the time to show you how to figure out the worth of a company, who takes the time to show you how to evaluate a company and understand it. With One Up On Wall Street I have an invaluable tool, one that will help the amateur learn how to assess the worth of a company and whether you should invest in it.
With Lynch I have found a great book that explains investing in a general sense as well as a specific sense. I would whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for investment help. Through One Up On Wall Street the amateur investor, and many a professional, could set themselves on a path towards making money in stocks. A definite recommend. |

This book has become a classic of personal investment literature for good reasons. For one thing, watching Lynch lampoon Wall Street and its cadre of institutional investors is rich fun. He is, perhaps, the foremost money manager in the U.S., thanks to the success of Fidelity's multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund. Lynch says that when E. F. Hutton speaks, the average investor ought to take a nap. Although this is an updated edition, most of the content dates to "pre-bubble" 1989. As such, it offers haunting warnings about stocks with inflated price-to-earnings ratios. Warning to novice investors: Lynch is a Wharton grad who's been in the market since his college days and, as such, he tends to see stocks as simple and straightforward. Like the "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett, he's a quintessential value investor who looks for undervalued companies in nuts-and-bolts industries. The difference, as Lynch puts it, is that he buys those companies' stocks, while Buffett buys those companies. We strongly recommend this book to those who govern their own portfolios. |

First of all, I don't expect the average reader to savor this book the way I did - no book I've read in the last five years has been this exciting to me. That being said, I think other reviewers have accurately pointed out his cynical wit and common sense way of looking at things. This is an investment book that's funny! "You want to invest in a company that's so simple to run, that any idiot can run it, because invariably someday any idiot will." Lynch also manages to poke fun of Yuppies, academia, smart people who overanalyze, people who lack common sense, and many others in a delightful way. The way he analyzes a company, financial information and statistics, etc., is written simply and in a way that your average Joe can understand. He seems to describe all the major statistics for a company and if they are important or not. He tells you how you can review easily accessible information and make a good decision on whether to buy a stock or not within two hours. There have been reviewers criticizing Lynch for getting people excited and setting them up for failure. But Lynch readily addresses the fact that you will have failures and how to deal with them - he also goes into what type of person should be investing in stocks in the first place. He at some point states that people don't have a knack for picking stocks and should not trust their gut - They should look at the facts and make solid decisions. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme book - it contains essentially conservative advice. When talking about options, a dubious investment vehicle for all but a small percentage of professionals, he states "Some people get impatient with building wealth slowly and therefore decide to grow poor quickly." I had previously only invested in mutual funds, but am pretty convinced that I can now make successful stock purchases - granted, I have read several other investing and finance books in the past few months as Lynch advises. I am a 31 year old man and talked to a middle-aged friend of mine who has become very wealthy on a modest salary through investing and asked him to tell all his secrets on how he has done so well. He told me exactly what Lynch said. Buy a home, and invest in solid, long-term stocks. I think any reader will understand that some of the information is dated with respect to specific industries and trends - but I think this is easy to filter through. I'd also like to point out that this opens a way of making mundane experiences more satisfying. Now when I go to a store or hear about a company, I'm tempted to go online to the Wall Street Journal and look at its valuations. Now when I'm at a store, it is interesting to note what the people around me think of the store through their actions. It makes things fun that wouldn't otherwise be fun - granted, I'm someone who loves tracking numbers and statistics. One final bonus for me - it has allowed me to make some inroads with all the middle-aged men in my office - most of the people I work with are 10-25 years older than me. Just the other day someone said to me "I wish there was a Krispy Kreme in this building." I said "Well, it seems as though they may have hit rock bottom and be ready for some careful growth. Their stock went from "$5 to $50 a share and back down to $5 in the span of a year." He responded "and now it's back up to $8!" Lynch has given me extra credibility with Club Middle-Aged Man! One Up On Wall Street is a classic by Peter Lynch - a brilliant thinker whose common sense and disregard for the textbook served him well. Lynch truly makes picking stocks exciting - by the end of the book I almost wished I were a fund manager. |
