1944 - Peter Lynch, born on the 19th of January, is a successful Wall Street stock investor whose record ranks him as one of the best stock-pickers in the world. He is currently a research consultant at Fidelity Investments and his likeness remains the primary marketing tool of the company.
1966 - He was hired as an intern with Fidelity Investments partly because he had been caddying for Fidelity's president (among others) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Massachusetts.
1969 - He initially covered the paper, chemical, and publishing industries, and when he returned after a two year Army stint Lynch was hired permanently.
1974 - 1977 - This time Lynch was charged with following the textiles, metals, mining, and chemicals industries, eventually becoming Fidelity's director of research.
1976 - He said he prefers to give money to support ideas that he thinks can spread, such as First Night, the New Year's Eve festival that began in Boston.
1977 - He was named head of the obscure Magellan Fund which had $18 million in assets.
1990 - He resigned as a fund manager, $10,000 invested in Magellan would have grown to $280,000 over a 13 year period and the fund grew to more than $14 billion in assets with more than 1,000 individual stock positions.
1992 - Peter Lynch has written (with co-author John Rothchild) three texts on investing, including One Up on Wall Street, Beating the Street, and Learn to Earn.
