Develop a Winning Investment Strategy—with Expert Advice from “The Nation’s #1 Money Manager.” Peter Lynch’s “invest in what you know” strategy has made him a household name with investors both big and small. Peters sixteenth principle – In business, competition is never as healthy as total domination: Peter has flirted with a lot of good businesses in bad industries, or “flowers in the desert”, as he categorizes them. The problem with good industries are that they attract competition. These new market participants crave a piece of the action, which is why they undercut prices and create price pressure. Peter’s binoculars are thus directed at terrible industries. Next, he attempts to find the ‘winner’ in said industries – those with the highest margins and lowest costs, hence enabling them to ride-out cyclical waves while the competitors throw in the towel. Once the industry betters once gain, the surviving businesses are ready to gain the now dead companies’ market shares.
