This book is written by one of the most successful money managers in the world. Peter Lynch does not offer magic formulas and recipes from the "how to become a millionaire" series. Its idea is simple: simple evaluation techniques allow even a novice investor to become an expert and make decisions like Wall Street professionals. First, he invites the reader to evaluate himself as a potential investor. Then he moves on to the search for promising investment opportunities. The reader will learn what to strive for, what to avoid, how to interpret financial indicators. The explanations are extremely simple and understandable, like everything in this book, written with surprising wit for such literature. Finally, the author turns to specific aspects of investing, in particular, answers the question of when to buy and when to sell.
