7 Renowned Investors of All Time
2. Peter Lynch
"Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it."
Peter Lynch is famed as one of the best known investors since he had managed Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, when the company assets grew from $20 million to $14 billion. Lynch graduated from Boston College in 1965 and earned a Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Lynch is also credited for writing many famous books such as “One Up On Wall Street” and “Beating The Street”, which are broadly considered to be compulsory reading for any investor.
3. Jesse Livermore
"There is only one side of the market and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side."
Titled as the “great bear of Wall Street”, Jesse Livermore was a stock market legend. He was well-known for creating and losing quite a few multi-million dollar fates and short selling during the stock market crashes in 1907 and 1929. Livemore sets the perfect expel for the phrase of “rags to riches” as he left home in 1891 at the early age of 14 with nothing more than $5 in his pocket and later become one of the renowned investors of all time.
