Beating the Street

i see these type of charts in peter lynch’s book one up on wall street’

Peter Lynch is one best investors of his time, or any other time for that matter. Lynch ran the Magellan Fund, arguably the most successful fund of all time. yet, he has a very simple philosophy that many of us often stray from.

“Invest in what you know” is one of his most familiar investment principles. too often investors are lured by high-flying stocks that promise a revolutionary technology or operate in an obscure niche market.

With so many unknowns already impacting our investments; why take on additional risk that is easily avoided? often buyers don’t even know what they don’t know!

Understanding the Business

If you can’t succinctly explain what a company does to a friend, you probably are loading up on unknowns that you have not even thought about.

This may seem obvious, but I am willing to bet that just about everyone, myself included, has put some money in a stock that they could not entirely figure out where exactly those profits (or expected profits) are coming from.

Don’t Stray from the Basics

If you are reading this, you likely know the basics about P/E ratios and earnings trends. no reason to make a mountain out of a mole hill; just look for rising earnings and a good value before the rest of your criteria.

There are literally thousands of companies out there, why sacrifice value for a great story to tell? how many of us have bought a stock and said, “I know ABC is a problem, but look at XYZ!” Don’t do it.

Right in Front of You

Today I looked for stocks in industries that are widely known, easy to understand and have the basics I touched on earlier.

Dr Pepper Snapple (DPS – Analyst Report) is the third largest beverage company in the world. they make the drinks Americans have grown to love, soda pop as well as others.

This Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) is trading at roughly 15 times its 2010 Zacks Consensus Estimate. thanks to 19 revisions between this year and next year, earnings are expected to grow 23% and 14%, respectively.

Dr. Pepper Snapple is expected to earn $2.41 by year’s end, up 5 cents in the past 30 days. next year analysts are looking for $2.74, up 8 cents.

Another positive aspect for DPS is that it is focused on North America, rather than spread out across the globe like the other heavy hitters in the industry. the U.S. is back in vogue as investors flee the emerging markets and even Europe, looking for safety.

Chevron (CVX – Analyst Report) is a well known integrated energy company. While there is plenty that goes into the operations, they pump the oil, refine it and we put the final product into the gas tank.

Big oil is easy to bash, but if you are taking the hit at the pump, why not take get a bump in your portfolio?

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2010 is up 82 cents, to $8.72 in past 3 months. next year’s estimates are averaging $10.18, up 33 cents. If the Chevron can hit these levels, year-over-year growth will be 80% and 17%, respectively.

Shares of CVX are trading with a forward P/E of just 8 times. the PEG ratio is less than 1.0, making the growth reasonably valued.

Wal-Mart (WMT – Analyst Report) has become so big that their financial results are about as good an economic indicator you can find. the retail goliath is coming off of its fourth consecutive earnings surprise and there is plenty to like.

Shares are trading at less that 13 times 2010 estimate. Analysts that follow Wal-Mart continue to raise estimates, albeit slightly. the full-year 2010 Zacks Consensus Estimate is now $4.01 and next year’s is $4.40.

These levels represent a solid 10% earnings growth rate in each of the next 2 years.

K.I.S.S.

Investing can be as complicated as you want to make it. However, some of the most successful investors of all time continue to triumph by running the slow and steady race. You won’t be impressing anyone with your exotic stock picks or trading strategies, but you will probably cross the finish line first.

Pick Stocks the Peter Lynch Way

In Peter Lynch’s book “learn to earn” he talks about a bond paying 8% interest on 10K investment. (8K Intrest). then he says inflation is 4%. He calculates that you lose almost 1,300 of the interest (I think) to inflation. therefore he says that your orginal 10K investment is worth 6,648 after 10 yrs of 4% inflation. How is it that the investment ends up at 6,648 after 10 yrs of inflation?

Warren Edward Buffett (born August 30, 1930) is a U.S. investor, businessman, and philanthropist. he is one of the most successful investors in history, the largest shareholder and C.E.O. of Berkshire Hathaway, and is currently ranked by Forbes as the second richest human on Earth with an estimated net worth of approximately thirty-seven billion dollars.

Buffett is often called the “Oracle of Omaha” or the “Sage of Omaha” and is noted for his adherence to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth.

Buffett is also a notable philanthropist, having pledged to give away 85% of his fortune to the Gates Foundation. he also serves as a member of the board of trustees at Grinnell College.

In 1999, Buffett was named the top money manager of the twentieth century in a survey by the Carson Group, ahead of Peter Lynch and John Templeton,. In 2007, he was listed among Time’s 100 most Influential People in the world.

Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. he bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2. he bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3. he still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha ,
that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. he says that he has
everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

4. he drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5. he never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies.
He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals
for the year. he never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
He has given his CEO’s only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any
of your share holder’s money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. he does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time
after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only
5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with
Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But
when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates
became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
His advice to young people: “Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and
Remember:
A. Money doesn’t create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don’t do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don’t go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F. after all it’s your life then why give chance to others to rule our life.”

Warren Edward Buffett….World's second richest man facts

Hello, I would like to know if someone could tell me where can I find
charts that can display historical EPS of a company, hopefully
with the price of the stock above it. Something like if, as in a
normal chart, that below has the volume, instead of the volume you
could see the earnings at that time. I have seen this in a book of
Peter Lynch called Beating the Street, but I don’t know where did he
got them from. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Someone could tell me where can I find charts that can display historical EPS of a company?
