• Is Monro Muffler Brake A Peter Lynch Stock?

  By Chad Henage - May 22, 2012 | Tickers: MNRO, PBY

  The fact that Peter Lynch is one of my favorite investors of all time is no secret. I think his books “Beating The Street” and “One Up On Wall Street” should be required reading before anyone is allowed to trade stocks. With this in mind, I like to run companies through several tests to see if Mr. Lynch would be interested in investing. One of his central tenants is buy what you know. What better way to invest, than to buy stock in the company that owns Mr. Tire where I get auto repairs and new tires? The company is Monro Muffler Brake (NASDAQ: MNRO) and they not only own Mr. Tire, but Monro Muffler & Brake, and other brands as well. Let's see how this company fares against the criteria that Mr. Lynch uses.
