Peter Lynch: The man who beat the Street

Peter Lynch, the legendary former manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund, once said, "Investing isn't about beating others. It's about watching the field and understanding the game."
Lynch is one of the most successful investors of all time, having overseen the Magellan Fund's 29.2% annual return over a 13-year period. He is also known for his folksy charm and his ability to make investing understandable to the average person.
In his book "One Up on Wall Street," Lynch lays out his investment philosophy, which is based on the idea of investing in companies that you understand and that have a competitive advantage. He also emphasizes the importance of patience and discipline, and he warns against getting caught up in the hype surrounding a particular stock.
Lynch's investment style has been widely imitated, and he is considered one of the pioneers of value investing. His book "One Up on Wall Street" is still considered one of the best books on investing ever written.
Here are some of Lynch's most famous quotes:
* "Invest in what you know."
* "Don't invest in anything you don't understand."
* "The best way to make money in the stock market is to buy stocks when they're on sale."
* "Patience is the key to investing."
* "Discipline is the key to success in investing."
