    Description of Beating the Street

    Peter Lynch's 'invest in what you know' strategy has made him a household name with investors both big and small.

    An important key to investing, Lynch says, is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets. There's a company behind every stock and a reason companies - and their stocks - perform the way they do. In this book, newly revised and updated for the paperback edition, Peter Lynch shows you how you can become an expert in a company and how you can build a profitable investment portfolio, based on your own experience and insights and on straightforward do-it-yourself research. There' s no reason the individual investor can't match wits with the experts, and this book will show you how.

    In Beating The Street Lynch for the first time:

    - Explains how to devise a mutual fund strategy

    - Shows how he goes about picking stocks, step-by-step

    - Describes how the individual investor can improve his or her investment performance to rival that of the experts of the investment clubs
