Peter Lynch is a legendary investor.

He outlined 6 stock categories you MUST know:

πŸš€ Fast Growers $SHOP $TSLA
🏰 Stalwarts $HD $V
🐒 Slow Growers $JNJ $PG
πŸ”„ Turnarounds $META $PTON
🎒 Cyclicals $BA $CAT
πŸ’Ό Asset Plays $BRK $IBM

Here is his playbook for each category πŸ‘‡
πŸš€ Fast Growers (like $TSLA, $SHOP)

Playbook: Allocate only a limited portion of your portfolio due to higher risk.

This is Lynch's preferred category:

πŸ“ˆ High Growth Rate (> 20%).
βš–οΈ Potentially Overvalued.
πŸ† Can be huge winners.
⚠️ Risk-Prone.
🦁 Aggressive.
πŸ’‘ Innovative.
🏰 Stalwarts (like $KO, $HD or $V)

Playbook: Own them, don’t trade them.

βš–οΈ Lower Risk.
πŸ“ Large scale.
πŸͺ‚ Stable nature
βš“ Portfolio Anchors.
πŸ“ˆ Moderate Growth.
πŸ’° Regular Dividends.
πŸ›‘οΈ Recession Resilience.
🐒 Slow Growers (like $JNJ or $PG)

Playbook: Lynch suggests pruning them from the portfolio. He's not particularly fond of this category.

πŸͺ‚ Low volatility.
πŸ‘‘ Sector leaders.
🚢 Minimal growth.
πŸ’° Regular dividends.
πŸ›‘οΈ Low risk, low reward.
βš–οΈ Mature and predictable.
πŸ”„ Turnarounds (like $PTON)

Playbook: Lynch generally steers clear of turnarounds.

Why? They seldom turn.

⚠️ High risk, high reward.
πŸ“ˆ Potential for recovery.
⏳ Patience is required.
πŸŽ“ Demands expertise.
πŸ“‰ Underperforming.
🎲 Volatile.

But exceptions exist $META πŸ‘‡
🎒 Cyclicals

Playbook: A challenging field, best suited for industry insiders, not beginners.

Lynch advises caution.

🚫 Not beginner-friendly.
⏲️ Predictable patterns.
πŸ’° Fluctuating profits.
🏭 Industry-specific.
βŒ› Timing is crucial.
🌩️ High volatility.
πŸ’Ό Asset Plays

Playbook: Discover hidden value before the market does and be patient.

πŸ”‘ Patience is key.
πŸ’° Seek undervalued assets.
🧠 Tangible or intangible plays.
πŸ” Requires thorough analysis.
🎯 Potential acquisition targets.

Example: eBay's spin-off of PayPal $PYPL.
But wait, there's more!

Lynch identified favorable stock traits he always looks for.

These traits helped him outperform the market by a factor of 2X over 13 years.
