Description
Contrarian Investing is a state of mind. Contrarians seek to invest against the opinion of the crowd when that opinion reaches an extreme. When a stock or a market plunges on bad news, most investors sell, or avoid the investment altogether. But that is just when the contrarian becomes interested and takes notice of a potential opportunity.
In Contrarian Investing, Gallea and Patalon show you how to recognize the diamond in the rough. As a result, you'll have a shot at market-beating returns, even as you seek to reduce your risk. In their thoroughly researched book, the authors lay out time-proven principles in easy-to-understand terms. You will learn:
- Why independent thinking could lead to potential profits in the market
- The personality of the successful contrarian
- The best percentage of a portfolio to place in each contrarian stock
- Five contrarian rules to follow
- The single best buy signal
- Three ironclad rules for knowing when to sell
