Contrarian Strategy

You’re crazy… You don’t know what you’re talking about… Are you serious? You’re going to get slaughtered… These are just some of the things you might hear if you adopt a contrarian investing style.

It’s not easy being contrarian. It’s tough to own a stock or sector that everyone thinks is headed south. It’s even more difficult to sell or short a stock that your friends, family and even the media are trumpeting as the next great thing.

That’s why although many people consider themselves to be contrarian or having a contrarian strategy, the concept of going against the grain actually scares them to death. The bottom line is that you need to have the conviction that you’re right and then discipline to stay in the position as long as it still makes sense.

Nothing compares to getting into a stock before the masses discover it and seeing your returns explode before they finally catch on. And while going against the grain isn’t easy, you can of course still employ other valid investing methods such as value investing, growth investing, or momentum investing (which many consider part of contrarian investing).
