Prominent Financial Analyst Peter Lynch spoke about his investing principles and personal experiences to a packed room in Emerson yesterday. Throughout his talk, Lynch, author of the best-seller One Up On Wall Street, emphasized that investors should make sure to understand the company’s background “story”. “Before you invest, you should write down three reasons why you’re buying stock,” he said. “The fact that it’s going up doesn’t count.” Lynch gained...
