Mohnish Pabrai👍 Recommends
…the second peter lynch book that influenced mohnish to pursue value investing
“So there was another Peter Lynch book, Peter Beating the Street. I read that. And I loved that too. And then there's no more Peter Lynch books. But in those two books, in one of the two books, he talks about Buffett, right?”
