Joel Tillinghast, who runs the $38 billion Fidelity Low-Priced Fund, joined GuruFocus for a talk about how he thinks about investing and selects equities.

The most distinctive characteristics of Joel's portfolio are its size -- it has 889 positions -- and its requirement that its stocks have a price under $35 per share. It also has uncommon returns. Since inception, Joel's fund delivered 13.76% annualized versus 9.78% for his benchmark Russell 2000 index.Â

Joel is also the author of the new book, "Big Money Thinks Small," endorsed by his mentor, legend Peter Lynch. In the episode, he discusses key concepts from the book, his unique criteria for stock selection, how he landed a job with Peter Lynch after one hour-long phone call, what's next for the economy and much more.
