Peter Lynch will be my pick.

Someone who's flexible and adapts to different market conditions - be it value investing with stable dividends or growth stocks, in particular, multi-baggers (a term he coined). This suits today's dynamic, fast-paced investment environment.

In addition, he retired at 46 after his early success. Something to aspire for because I don't want to be actively investing (too much) when I'm 91 like Buffett.

Now let's breakdown the rest.

1. Both Buffet and Graham have similar styles, focusing on value investing and contrarian. Graham was even known as Buffett's mentor. While these are proven methods, they require strict discipline and patience which I may not have. Sometimes, inaction in the stock market for long periods might be unbearable. 😀

2. Templeton used a similar value investing approach as Buffett and Graham but was open to growth stocks for e.g. new industries. One of his standout investments included buying one lot of every stock on NYSE during Great Depression. Since I'm not so gutsy, Templeton comes as a close second choice behind Lynch.

3. Finally, Soros. He comes across as more of a trader than investor. Given his management of a hedge fund, trading in and out of assets is what he does best. For e.g. shorting the UK pound in 1992. Trading is quite reactionary and requires more knowledge and experience. Not my cup of tea (not to mention limited success in that). 😅

To summarize, these are all great investors of the past and present. We could learn a trick or two from them. However, being adaptable, understanding your investments (regardless of value or growth companies), and working towards an endgame relates me to Peter Lynch's style better than the rest. 

What about you? [Cool]

    We can learn a lot from Buffet's speech and his strategy.
