Plop!

So, some private bankers were jawboning at a retreat recently (I wasn't there, one of the Latin Trade salespeople went as spouse of a private banker) and they commented that Peter Lynch, the investment wizard that led Fidelity's Magellan fund to 29% annual returns, five times the market, has become something of a recluse and doesn't give any interviews anymore.

Our sales rep couldn't hold back. Really? she said. He gave us an exclusive in the October LT Elite supplement. The bankers fell out of their chairs, Condorito-style.

Excellent, diligent work from News Editor Forrest Jones. The interview isn't online, which is a shame considering it's the best two-page distillation of how to invest I've ever seen in any magazine anywhere.
