THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING BOOK THAT EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD OWN

Peter Lynch is America's number-one money manager. His mantra: Average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick winning stocks as effectively as Wall Street professionals by doing just a little research.

Now, in a new introduction written specifically for this edition of One Up on Wall Street, Lynch gives his take on the incredible rise of Internet stocks, as well as a list of twenty winning companies of high-tech '90s. That many of these winners are low-tech supports his thesis that amateur investors can continue to reap exceptional rewards from mundane, easy-to-understand companies they encounter in their daily lives.

Investment opportunities abound for the layperson, Lynch says. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your immediate world -- from the mall to the workplace -- you can discover potentially successful companies before professional analysts do. This jump on the experts is what produces "tenbaggers," the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.

The former star manager of Fidelity's multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund, Lynch reveals how he achieved his spectacular record. Writing with John Rothchild, Lynch offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots by reviewing a company's financial statements and by identifying which numbers really count. He explains how to stalk tenbaggers and lays out the guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.

Lynch promises that if you ignore the ups and downs of the market and the endless speculation about interest rates, in the long term (anywhere from five to fifteen years) your portfolio will reward you. This advice has proved to be timeless and has made One Up on Wall Street a number-one bestseller. And now this classic is as valuable in the new millennium as ever.

What Customers Say About One Up On Wall Street : How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market:

This version is nothing more than a list of bullet points that summarize the main points of the full book. Buyer beware. As a "Cliff's Notes" of the book it is decent enough, but as a guide to investing it isn't particularly useful. The Kindle edition of this book is not the full book. It is the miniature "abridged" version that is only about 30 pages long, even though it is not advertised this way in the Kindle store, and there is no indication given that you are not purchasing the full book. Don't waste your money on this version. Buy a paperback copy, and be certain you are getting the full book.

Having read Peter Lynch's books as a new investor, I was looking forward to loading this onto my Kindle as a reference book. Food me once, shame on me. I was shocked when I referred to it this weekend and discovered the Kindle edition has been abbreviated to about 20 Kindle page turns. I love my Kindle, but Amazon.com has to stop marketing editions of books that differ materially from the printed edition unless it is well advertised as such. Fool me twice, shame on Amazon.com. Don't let me down again on this matter Amazon.com, please.

If you are looking for the complete version of One Up On Wall Street, do not purchase this item. You want the most recent paperback version. The kindle version is only a few dozen pages long- its a bullet point "cliff notes" version of the actual book.

One up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know To Make Money in the Market, Miniature Editionthe book is just what you should be looking for if you're wanting to beat the Market year in and year out; all the key points are in one place for you at the end of the book.

I do not think customers would like pay $12 for shipment to buy this matchbox size "book" of 95 pages, double side print. If not cheating why the book's image on Amazon is same as the other ordinary zise books'. The iamge of this book on Amazon should be much smaller to indicate this is a miniature edition.
