About the book
Beating the Street is an investment book by Peter Lynch, written with John Rothchild and presented as a follow-up to his earlier work on the same theme. It sets out his philosophy for ordinary investors who want to choose stocks and assemble portfolios using what they already know from daily life. Drawing on his years running the Fidelity Magellan Fund, Lynch offers case studies of both good and bad investments. He argues that patient, disciplined amateurs who research companies they understand, and seek growth at a sensible price, can outperform professional fund managers.
