"This is a good book for someone who is one the fence about how to invest. Lynch encourages individuals to take control of their financial situation rather than just leaving it in the hands of others. His message is simple and full of common sense, invest in what you know. Everyone is an expert in some area, whether it is their job, a hobby or a lifelong interest, and because of that they have an advantage over almost everyone else when it comes to investing in that area. Lynch focuses on finding the "ten-baggers", the unknown or unpopular stocks that have the greatest potential to net you a big return. This book will remain on my bookshelf with easy access as it has some valuable chapters I can see myself revisiting. At a time when it seems like investment professionals and financial experts are on every street corner, it's nice to read a book by some who's been there done that, and done it consistently, long term and with great success."

“A witty, insightful, and engaging look at the world of stock picking through the eyes of one of America’s premier stock pickers.”
— Joy O. Light, professor of business administration, Harvard University" There are very sound fundamentals in this book, but after awhile it becomes a bit repetitive. It takes a very logical approach to investing, and shows you that you don't need to have a fancy degree and work on Wall Street to make money. It's about not being intimidated and basically buying what you know. "

— Oliver, 1/29/2014" Not really for me. This book mostly focuses on his years running a Mutual Fund. An interesting book but not a very educational one for the adverage investor. "
