Some good advice and some bad ones.
Peter Lynch' claim that index funds contribute to market volatility is false. One only has to look at the portfolio turnover of a broad market fund to see.
His insistence that small investors should invest in the same sector where they work is potentially dangerous. A downturn in the sector can decimate both your job and your portfolio - imagine an oil worker who invest heavily in oil stock just before the 2020 oil collapse and recession. Diversifying is important.
