To explain the same he uses an example of Wal-Mart, Microsoft and Amazon. He is of the opinion that every investor has adequate time to go for good companies which become great over a period of time.
- Lynch mentions that Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) was a 10-bagger -- i.e. its stock rose to 10 times its initial price -- 10 years after it went public. Even if you had gotten in after waiting a decade, though, you'd be sitting on a 100-bagger. Just remember that the company may no longer show a monster growth story, but one will be able to get 20% returns on equity year after year. That type of consistent ROE is a huge positive indicator of management's ability to effectively allocate capital.
- Take an example of Microsoft which is still delivering impressive current return on equity (42%).
- Not to forget the Amazon which is just 13 years old as a public company, has seen its stock double since its 10th birthday.
