Rather than following the complex predictions of so-called professionals or leaping on the latest and greatest overpriced stock, he advises you to keep your own counsel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/being-self-reliant\/\">be self-reliant<\/a>, and see yourself as your greatest resource.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following <em>One Up on Wall Street<\/em> quotes highlight some of the key pieces of Lynch&#8217;s investing advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cBy putting your stocks into categories you\u2019ll have a better idea of what to expect from them.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>How you invest in a stock depends on what type of stock it is, and it\u2019s important to understand the type before you invest. This ensures you have correct expectations of that company\u2019s performance and won\u2019t sell a stock in a company type prematurely.&nbsp;Lynch divides all stocks into six categories: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Slow-growth companies:<\/strong> Most companies that start out as fast growers eventually become slow growers. Lynch doesn\u2019t particularly recommend investing in slow-growth companies because you won\u2019t make money fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dependable companies:<\/strong> These are large, established companies that grow more quickly than slow-growth companies but still maintain a relatively slow pace. It\u2019s good to have a few dependables in your portfolio because they\u2019ll keep you afloat in market downswings since they generally aren\u2019t as strongly impacted by such swings as smaller companies are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fast-growth companies: <\/strong>These companies are small and grow aggressively, at 20 to 25% per year. Such companies also tend to be tenbaggers or higher. These companies are riskier than dependable companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cycle companies: <\/strong>These are companies that grow and contract in cycles. Such companies can be dangerous for inexperienced investors if they don\u2019t understand when\u2019s the best time to invest and that a downswing will be followed by an upswing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Underdog companies: <\/strong>These are companies that are experiencing a low-growth moment but will soon make a rapid comeback and are therefore worth investing in when stocks are low.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hidden-treasure companies: <\/strong>These are companies that have an asset you happen to know about but which professional investors have overlooked. An asset might be cash, real estate, a subscription model, or some other hidden advantage. It takes inside knowledge to know this advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cThe trick is not to learn to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/follow-your-intuition\/\">trust your gut<\/a> feelings, but rather to discipline yourself to ignore them. Stand by your stocks as long as the fundamental story of the company hasn\u2019t changed.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Lynch stresses the importance of discipline and resilience to stick with your stocks through their ups and downs (rather than selling at the first sign of a downturn), thereby increasing your chances of making a good return on your investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cMy advice for the next decade: Keep on the lookout for tomorrow\u2019s big baggers. You\u2019re likely to find one.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Lynch, as an investor, your goal should be to find a&nbsp;<em>tenfold<\/em>&nbsp;<em>increaser<\/em>&nbsp;(what he calls a&nbsp;<em>tenbagger<\/em>): a stock that makes you back 10 times what you invested. A tenfold increaser dramatically improves your return and helps erase the effect of a bad investment. You can find such companies anywhere and probably encounter two to three a year in daily life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you\u2019re an ambitious investor, you might even want to look for <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/10-best-multi-bagger-stocks-135803970.html\">\u201cmulti-baggers\u201d: stocks that return <em>over<\/em> 10 times the initial investment<\/a>. However, most stocks considered multi-baggers these days are companies Lynch would probably advise against investing in because they\u2019re not companies you encounter in your everyday life (and that you can understand easily\u2014a point of Lynch\u2019s we\u2019ll cover later in this guide). For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/10-best-multi-bagger-stocks-135803970.html\">Yahoo! Finance recommends investing in Occidental Petroleum Corporation<\/a>, \u201can American hydrocarbon exploration company.\u201d It\u2019s unlikely the average investor has a firm understanding of what this company does and would therefore struggle to follow the company\u2019s progress.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for One Up on Wall Street quotes by Peter Lynch?
