Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Writing with Rothchild ( A Fool and His Money ), Lynch, director of the Fidelity Magellan Fund, the nation's largest equity fund ($9 billion in assets), argues that average investors can beat Wall Street professionals by using the information that they encounter in their everyday lives. For example, Lynch invested in Hanes after his wife told him about the popularity of L'eggs pantyhose. Other winning stocks that average investors could have picked well before Wall Street became aware of them include LaQuinta motels, the Limited clothing store chain and Agency Rent-A-Car, note the authors. They advise readers to look for spectacular growth among companies that sound dull; do something disagreeable; are spinoffs; are buying back theor own stock. They caution readers to avoid companies touted as the next IBM or Xerox; that are diversifying ("diworseifying"); that depend on a single customer. The book is also a primer on how the stock market works and is written in a light, entertaining style. Investors will be able to put the shrewd insights presented to good use. Author tour.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get conned!, April 11 2006

By	S.N. "S.N." (ontario, canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market (Miniature Edition) (Hardcover)

I ordered this book after reading a copy from the local library. WATCH OUT, this book is not what it seems! This one is a MINATURE edition, written in point form! It was only after I came back to the site that I noticed the small print listing it as a minature. Buyer beware, I got conned! I'm sure that if I argued with the seller he would refund me the $.50 but keep the shipping cost of over $6.00! Postage only cost him .25 cents so I guess that's how he makes his money.

Having said that, if you can get your hands on the real deal, I highly recommend it. Its an easy read, you'll learn lots of essentials and become a better investor, especially if you're new to the subject. I consider this one of the greatest all time primers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theories on invseting, April 6 2008

By	Mootstreet (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews

Peter Lynch, the legendary money manager of Fidelity Magellan Fund, shares his investing principles in this book. This book is for both casual investors and professionals because it contains many timeless investing principles.

The book is divided into three sections: Preparing to Invest, Picking Winners and The Long-Term View. The second section is the most valuable one as Lynch talks about what he looks for in a great investment, as well as what to avoid. Chapter 13, Some Famous Numbers, is especially useful for novice. Lynch explains the key financial numbers/ratios and why they are important. Those are very helpful when conducting analysis of individual companies. Chapter 15, The Final Checklist, summarizes the second section. Every investor should not be buying stocks without going through the checklist.

Beginners would develop many proper habits of sound investing including focusing on companies rather than stocks and separating stock tips from the tipper. It is a great book for beginners and less so for professionals because some of the things in the book are rather basic. However, investors who master these basic principles would be very well rewarded from the stock market.

5.0 out of 5 stars For financial analysts to be!, Jul 17 2004

By	Mark Canizares "Analyst" (Pasig City, Metro Manila Philippines) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first read this book as an "assignment" when I started working as a financial analyst in 2000. The book is well written, and offers a lot of insights and tips that are applicable to analyzing companies and stocks. Most of the stuff here are very applicable to my work, and even offers examples that can be emulated by any investor/analyst. To date, I still practice most of the philosophies and tips suggested here when it comes to analyzing companies. Amazingly, the book is not written in financial jargon but rather in a simple way that even novices would easily understand. i rate this book a "buy!"

Watch out! This is the miniature edition of the book. It represents about 8 average full pages and it is written in point form. Ridiculous!
