I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Mutual Fund Legend Peter Lynch Identifies His 'Three C's' Of Investing In A Rare Interview


Bloomberg
 
At the helm of Fidelity's Magellan Fund for 13 years, mutual fund legend Peter Lynch transformed $18 million in assets under management to more than $14 billion.

Now Lynch is pretty much out of the game. He chose to manage his own money for his family and philanthropic causes as opposed to launching a hedge fund or something of the like. 

Lynch doesn't do that many interviews, but he sat down with Charlie Rose on Bloomberg (via Market Folly) to talk about his philanthropic work in education and his take on the markets.

Lynch gave Rose his "Three C's" of investing — complacency, concern, and capitulation.

"Being complacent is the worst one," Lynch says. "If you're working hard, you can avoid it."

When considering an investment, Lynch says, you have to ask yourself if it is still early for a company or if it has years of growth ahead. Using a baseball analogy, the trick is getting into a stock in the "first, second, third inning, not when they're drawing up the line-up."

Make sure to get your facts straight first and don't rush. As an example, "You could have bought Wal-Mart 10 years after they went public," and still done very well, Lynch notes.

On what has changed in the market, Lynch highlighted the "computer-driven" nature of today's high-frequency trading. " I think that's a waste of time, it's disruptive."

Though, he did note the wealth of information online has been a help to investors. You don't have to wait for the mail to see Nike's inventory anymore, he joked.

Lynch, who was not able to short stocks at Magellan, said that "being right on the long side" is better.

"When you're short you can only make 90%; when you're long you can make tenfold," he said.
