In ~20 minutes you’ll learn Lynch’s six stock categories (slow growers, stalwarts, fast growers, cyclicals, turnarounds, asset plays), how to craft a one-minute thesis, why story + numbers matters, and simple rules on valuation (including PEG checks), patience, and avoiding “diworsification.” Perfect for beginners and busy listeners who want a practical way to turn real-life insights into better investing decisions.About the authorPeter Lynch is the former manager of Fidelity’s Magellan Fund and a bestselling author known for translating professional investing into straightforward rules for individual investors.Key takeawaysInvest in what you know: start with products, services, and trends you already notice.Six stock types: know what you own—each type has different expectations and risks.Tenbagger mindset: small, understandable businesses with long runways can compound massively.Story + numbers: a 60-second thesis backed by a few key metrics (growth, margins, debt, cash).PEG sanity check: growth should justify price; beware high P/E without high, durable growth.Ignore macro noise: focus on company fundamentals and execution.Avoid diworsification: add only what improves your edge or portfolio balance.Hold with reasons: update your thesis; sell when it’s broken, not because of headlines.This week’s playbookWhat-you-know sweep: list 5–10 companies you use and genuinely understand.Write a 60-second story for one idea + 3 numbers to track (revenue growth, operating margin, net debt/cash).Tag the type: categorize it (stalwart? fast grower?) and set expectations accordingly.Do a quick PEG check and a one-page pre-mortem: “What could kill this thesis?”Start a watchlist with price alerts and quarterly check-ins.Powered by NotebookLM.An experiment in using AI to hack your life and make your money work for you.(Education only; not financial advice.)
