Peter Lynch is one of the most successful professional investors of all time. According to him, amateurs can win. The most important rule to follow is that you should stop listening to professionals!

There are some things you're sincerely interested in. Whether it is cars, cameras or technology, you develop a sense of what's good and what's bad. You know what sells and what doesn't.
