Peter Lynch's "One Up on Wall Street" is well known to be one of the top investing books, especially for individual investors.

Phenomenal review that captures lot of the great content from that book.👏

Below are my fav parts (actually most of the article).

1⃣ Understand the Business first. Image
2⃣ Understanding the type of Company you're investing in is extremely important for using the right valuation metric, deciding on the thesis monitoring metrics, and having the right expectations from the stock return. Image
3⃣ Good section on reviewing the important metrics. Image
4⃣ Methodology he used for selling his stocks (doesn't need to apply to everyone equally). Image
5⃣ This section is worthy of framing on a wall. So so good. Every point of it.👏👏👏 Image
6⃣ Quotes to watch out for (We all did this). Image

Happy to share that Intuitive Surgical $ISRG finally became a 5⃣0⃣ bagger for me as of today (first tranche bought at the depths of GFC in March'09). The next two tranches from Nov'10 and May'14 also did their thing being 10+ baggers. Image
After $LULU did it's 100 bagger for me back in 2021 this is the next one to hit 50+ milestone.

Peter Lynch was right. Regular folks can achieve (but can't plan) for these, with some common sense investing + lot of patience when thesis is on track + even bigger amounts of luck.
@DavidGFool I gotta thank whoever was writing the free articles about $ISRG back during GFC on @themotleyfool 👏, as I would not have known about the company so early otherwise.

Still here.🙋‍♂️Just got busy with some non-investing aspects of my life over the last few months.

As painful as 2022 was, it also gave me an oppty to slowly add to existing or new pos at prices I expect to fondly look back on few yrs down the lane.

Few examples (not recs) ⬇️
$MDB : Before the crash, it was X shares at avg price of $208. Now it's 5X shares at avg price of $226

$AXON : Started in 2022 with multiple adds, with current avg of $120

$ALGN : Before the crash, it was X shares at avg price of $210. Now it's 2.5X shares at avg price of $222
$MELI : Added at $680, first add to the position since 2014.

$META : Added at $92, first add to the position since 2016.

$AMZN : Added at $95, first add to the position since 2018.

Slowly setting my cash on fire again this week.

Small adds to existing pos
$META (Social is done)
$NOW (Who needs IT monitoring anyway?)
$ALGN (Everyone from now one will have perfectly aligned teeth)
$SQ (hey guys, focus plz, actually)
$MDB (Recession will kill need for DBs).
Kidding aside, the next few qtrs are highly uncertain from a lot of aspects, but not all Cos are the same when it comes to credit dependence for capital stack/customer demand...
..cyclicality and severity of business impact during an actual recession, runway for core growth post any recession, ability to use this period to acquire smaller competitors etc.
