Many people think Peter Lynch was a "growth investor." They're wrong. Lynch simply had a preference for growth companies. In reality, Lynch deployed capital across many different investment categories. If he'd label himself anything, it'd be "bargain hunter."
Absolutely! And how could we forget his cyclical plays? This all explains why, when he described the Barron's Round Table meeting, he referred to one attendee as a "value" investor. Charlie probably explains Lynch's reasoning perfectly: "You're always a value investor."
