New Releases by Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch è il gestore di portafogli numero uno in America. Il suo mantra è: l’investitore medio può diventare esperto nel proprio campo e può arrivare a scegliere titoli vincenti in modo efficiente almeno quanto riescono a farlo i professionisti di Wall Street, semplicemente grazie a un lavoro di ricerca. Oggi, nella nuova introduzione scritta appositamente per questa edizione di Un passo avanti a Wall Street, Lynch ci regala la sua opinione in merito alle eccezionali prestazioni delle azioni tech, nonché su venti società vincenti del settore dell’alta tecnologia degli anni Novanta. Il fatto che molte di queste società siano del settore low tech corrobora la sua tesi secondo cui gli investitori non professionisti possono ottenere risultati eccellenti da società ordinarie e facili da studiare, con le quali entrano in contatto nella vita di tutti i giorni. Le opportunità di investimento sono all’ordine del giorno anche per gli investitori non professionisti – afferma Lynch. È sufficiente osservare gli sviluppi economici e prestare attenzione al mondo attorno a noi – che sia al supermercato o sul posto di lavoro – al fine di scoprire società potenzialmente di successo prima che vengano individuate dagli analisti professionisti. Battere sul tempo gli esperti permette di imbattersi nei cosiddetti tenbagger, titoli il cui valore aumenta di dieci volte o anche più rispetto all’investimento iniziale e grazie ai quali un normalissimo portafoglio azionario realizzerà performance eccezionali. In collaborazione con John Rothchild, noto giornalista finanziario, Lynch fornisce al lettore consigli facili da seguire al fine di individuare i titoli migliori e scartare invece quelli senza prospettiva di crescita, tramite un’attenta analisi dei bilanci societari, andando a scovare i numeri che davvero contano, e fornisce preziose linee guida per investire in società cicliche, in fase di ripresa o caratterizzate da rapida crescita. Lynch promette che se vi dimostrerete pronti a ignorare gli alti e i bassi del mercato azionario, nonché le infinite speculazioni sui tassi di interesse, nel lungo termine (ovvero dai cinque ai quindici anni) il vostro portafoglio vi ricompenserà. Questo consiglio intramontabile rende Un passo avanti a Wall Street un libro imperdibile: una pietra miliare in materia di investimenti, rinnovata e resa fruibile anche per il nuovo millennio.

This is the third collection under the rubric ''''That''s Maths''''. The first volume, ''''That''s Maths: The Mathematical Magic in Everyday Life'''', was published by Gill Books in 2016. The second, ''''That''s Maths II: A Ton of Wonders'''', was published for Logic Press in 2020. Both volumes were very favourably reviewed. This collection includes essays on a wide range of topics in both pure and applied mathematics. Chapters such as one on the beautiful theory of complex variables, illustrate the ''''elegant abstraction'''' mentioned in the subtitle, while chapters on mathematics in mechanics, astronomy, networks, freak waves and music demonstrate its ''''eclectic applications''''. The book is suitable for everyone with an interest in mathematics, whether or not they have studied the subject beyond secondary school level. Some chapters are purely expository; others go deeper into their subjects and are at a more advanced mathematical level. The first three quarters of the book (48 chapters) require no advanced knowledge. The final quarter (16 chapters, each marked by a star) involve some undergraduate maths. These should give readers a flavour of some more advanced mathematics. The chapters in this book are all short, generally about four pages. They can be read in sequence, with constantly changing themes, or in random order. The book should be appreciated by anyone with an interest in mathematics and science. In particular, teachers of these subjects, at both school and university level, should find a cornucopia of material to add a sparkle to their classes. Many of the essays in this collection have appeared in the regular column ''''That''s Maths'''' in The Irish Times or on Peter Lynch''s mathematical blog, thatsmaths.com. All have been fully revised for this book.

पीटर लिंच अमेरिका के नं. 1 मनी मैनेजर रहे हैं। उनका मंत्र है: आम निवेशक अपने क्षेत्र में विशेषज्ञ बन सकते हैं और वॉल स्ट्रीट के पेशेवर मैनेजरों जितनी ही सफलता से लाभकारी शेयर चुन सकते हैं, जिसमें थोड़े शोध की ज़रूरत होती है। लेखक ने पुस्तक के इस नवीन संस्करण के लिए नई प्रस्तावना लिखी है। इसमें वे इंटरनेट शेयरों के गगनचुंबी भावों पर अपना द़ृष्टिकोण बताते हैं। उन्होंने 1990 के दशक की बीस विजेता कंपनियों की सूची भी दी है। इनमें से कई कंपनियाँ हाई-टेक नहीं हैं, जिससे उनके इस विचार की पुष्टि होती है कि शौकिया निवेशक अपने रोज़मर्रा के जीवन में जिन सामान्य कंपनियों के संपर्क में आते है, उनमें निवेश करने पर उन्हें असाधारण पुरस्कार मिल सकता है। लिंच कहते हैं कि आम आदमी के लिए निवेश के अवसर हर तरफ़ मौजूद हैं। इसके लिए आपको बस अपने आस-पास की दुनिया में - शॉपिंग मॉल से लेकर ऑफ़िस या कारोबार तक - कारोबारी गतिविधियों पर ग़ौर करना है। इस तरह आप भविष्य में सफल होने वाली कंपनियों का पहले ही पता लगा सकते हैं, जिनके बारे में पेशेवर विश्लेषकों को बाद में पता चलेगा। विशेषज्ञों से आगे रहने की वजह से ही आपको अपने निवेश का ‘दस गुना’ ब़ढा कर देने वाले शेयर मिलते हैं, जो आम निवेशक के सामान्य पोर्टफ़ोलियो को बेहतरीन बना सकते हैं। पीटर लिंच फ़िडैलिटी के अरबों डॉलर के मैगलन फ़ंड के बेहद सफल मैनेजर रहे हैं। इस पुस्तक में वे उन रणनीतियों को बताते हैं, जिनकी बदौलत उन्हें इतनी नदार सफलता मिली। वे बताते हैं कि आपको किसी कंपनी के फ़ाइनैन्शियल स्टेटमेंट में सिर्फ़ चंद महत्वपूर्ण संख्याओं को देखना होता है और इतने भर से ही आप समझ सकते हैं कि कौन-सी कंपनी मज़बूत है और कौन-सी कमज़ोर। लिंच साइक्लिकल, टर्नअराउंड और फ़ास्ट-ग्रोथ कंपनियों में निवेश के ऐसे व्यावहारिक नियम भी बताते हैं, जिनसे हर निवेशक को लाभ होगा। लिंच विश्वास दिलाते हैं कि अगर आप शेयर बाज़ार के उतार-चढ़ाव को नज़रअंदाज़ कर देंगे, तो लंबे समय में (यानी पाँच से पंद्रह साल के बीच) आपका पोर्टफ़ोलियो बेहतर हो जाएगा। यह सलाह बेहद सटीक साबित हुई है और इसी वजह से यह पुस्तक नं. 1 बेस्टसेलर बन पाई है। यह क्लासिक पुस्तक आज भी पहले जितने ही महत्वपूर्ण बनी हुई है।

More than one million copies have been sold of this seminal book on investing in which legendary mutual-fund manager Peter Lynch explains the advantages that average investors have over professionals and how they can use these advantages to achieve financial success. America’s most successful money manager tells how average investors can beat the pros by using what they know. According to Lynch, investment opportunities are everywhere. From the supermarket to the workplace, we encounter products and services all day long. By paying attention to the best ones, we can find companies in which to invest before the professional analysts discover them. When investors get in early, they can find the “tenbaggers,” the stocks that appreciate tenfold from the initial investment. A few tenbaggers will turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer. Lynch offers easy-to-follow advice for sorting out the long shots from the no-shots by reviewing a company’s financial statements and knowing which numbers really count. He offers guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies. As long as you invest for the long term, Lynch says, your portfolio can reward you. This timeless advice has made One Up on Wall Street a #1 bestseller and a classic book of investment know-how.

LEARN TO EARN "Public companies are everywhere, and they surround you from morning to night. . . . Nearly everything you eat, wear, read, listen to, ride in, lie on, or gargle with is made by one. Perfume to penknives, hot tubs to hot dogs, nuts to nail polish are made by businesses that you can own." —from the Introduction. McDonald''s, The Gap, Circuit City, Gillette, CBS, and thousands more . . . anybody can own part of big and small companies. As companies grow and prosper, you can too. Whenever burgers are eaten, sweaters are purchased, batteries are used, and faces are shaved, you''ve got a piece of the action. From Alexander Hamilton to Warren Buffett, people have been making big money by investing in the corporations and institutions around them. Mutual-fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain what''s not normally taught in high school —how the stock market helps you and how it helps the country. By understanding how and why the stock market works when you buy a share of a company or purchase a mutual fund, you can make informed —and profitable —decisions. Whether you''re saving for college, a house, a trip, or retirement, there is no better method to secure a sound financial future than to invest. Young or old, there is no better time to start investing than now. "Investing is fun. It''s interesting. It can put you on the road to prosperity for the rest of your life. . . ." Learn to Earn gives you the expert guidance you need to make the right start. Lynch and Rothchild cover the gamut on investment fundamentals and principles, from choosing stocks, to picking a broker, to reading an annual report. Learn to Earn reveals how to decipher the stock pages and how to evaluate the pros and cons of the five basic investment vehicles —savings accounts, collectibles, houses or apartments, stocks, and bonds. Yet, there is much more to investing than just the principles, and there is much more to Learn to Earn than just the fundamentals. Opportunity comes in many forms, from many sources, with many histories. Brimming with stories and parables, Lynch and Rothchild also explain: Why the world as we know it would collapse without investors . . . How capitalism, from the time of the American Revolution on, has shaped the past, and how that affects us today . . . How Coke, Campbell''s Soup, Ben & Jerry''s, Microsoft, and other big companies got started, who gets rich from them, and how they got that way . . . How to know the real story behind the price of a stock
