Publisher's summary

Peter Lynch, one of the most successful investors of all time, shows you how to use what you already know to make money in the market. You'll discover why smart money is not so smart - and why you may be a better stock picker than the pros, how to follow your hunches and back them up with facts, how to disregard reports on the economy and pick your own time to buy and sell, and how to determine which types of stocks are right for you. Lynch is the former manager of the $9 billion Fidelity Magellan Fund, where he earned investors a $190,000 return on a $10,000 investment.

Learning a lot.

Lynch gives some great insight into using your life's experineces as an "edge" into finding stocks, and then shows you how to research those stocks, and what to look for before choosing to invest. Finally he shows how to identify when to sell.

I've already listened to this book three times through. Each time I get somthing new from it. It is like drinking from a fire hose. I'm not sure if this is due to the abridgement, or if an unabridged version would take even more useful information and pack it even more densely into this book.

Peter Lynch does an excellent job of narrating his own book. An author narrating his own book can always be hit or miss... Lynch is a hit!

I wish he told about where to find free sources for the detailed stock research he suggests using. I'd hate to spend money on the paid services for my first few small investments, as it'd eat up any potential gains.

A must read classic

I enjoyed this book, althought I was expecting more advanced concepts (since I am in the investing business). Nevertheless, Peter Lynch does a great job at summarizing his investment perspective in an easy to understand manner. This book is aimed at amateur investors, and is a good place to start if you are interested in investing by yourself. But even for professionnals, I think everyone can learn from Peter Lynch. A must read for everyone interested in the stock market.

Sound Advice

While a number of the examples he uses are a bit antiquated and the present he is speaking in regards to is 20 years ago, Peter Lynch's advice on the stock market is still quite sound. It would be excellent if he did an updated version for the 21st century, but still overall great advice for beginners needing solid philosophical footing in the stock trade.

Old cassette recording

The audio is old and you can hear the quality difference between a modern recording. Still glad I got it learned quite a bit

Enjoyable and informative

This book was what I thought it was going to be. It was easy to understand and Peter makes it enjoyable to learn about. This is high level look at stocks and how to evaluate them. Teaches you how to develop a story for a stock and then what to look for. Would recommend for anyone interested in stock investing.

It's a damn brochure about the book

Why is this even on Audible? It's pretty much the summary that would be written on the back of the book.

Invest in what you know

This really proves how investing isn't a professional only thing. Peter Lynch makes it interesting with how he tells his story. This was a lot more attention grabbing then Grahams Intelligent Investor. Looking forward to doing research and applying Lynch's story principles.
