This cemented Lynch as the everyman's hero because the book convinced millions of investors that you didn't need to be a quant or investing savant to find so-called "10 bagger" stocks(stocks that go up tenfold.) Just use commonsense and invest in things you see everyday and understand.
The commonsense, mostly quantitative approach he laid out in Super Stocks also caught my attention, and led me to create my Fisher-based Guru Strategy.
