One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market

A prominent money manager, Peter Lynch proposes directions in plain words on how to invest in the long term by spending just a quick look on a company's financial statements. He offers advice for discovering "tenbaggers" — stocks that grow tenfold from the initial investment. A few tenbaggers will grow an average stock portfolio into a star performer. Peter Lynch offers guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies. This seminal book has sold over one million copies and was a No.1 bestseller and a classic book of investment know-how.
