The Lynch Screener

"Invest in what you know."

— Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch's Philosophy

Peter Lynch managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, averaging 29% annual returns. He turned $18 million into $14 billion by finding growth companies before Wall Street noticed them.

Key Principles

• Invest in What You Know: Use your everyday experiences to find opportunities
• Local Edge: Small companies in your area may be tomorrow's giants
• Growth at Reasonable Price (GARP): Don't overpay even for growth
• Story Investing: Understand the company's narrative
• Tenbaggers: Look for companies that can grow 10x

💡 Did You Know?

Lynch discovered Dunkin' Donuts by eating their donuts. He found The Body Shop from his daughters' enthusiasm. He called this "investing in what you know."
