While the stock market may seem like a complex world of numbers and charts, legendary American investor Peter Lynch views investing in stocks as an art, not a science. He believes those trained to rigidly calculate everything may actually be at a disadvantage.
Peter Lynch, who popularised the concept of finding tenbaggers, said all the math one needs to succeed in the market is taught in the fourth grade. "If stockpicking could be quantified, you could rent time on the nearest Cray computer and make a fortune. But it doesn’t work that way," he wrote in his book titled 'One Up on Wall Street', which is widely read by stock market investors.
