re: Contrarian Alert!

Since a contrarian investor makes investment decisions contrary to prevailing beliefs—for example, buying when most other investors are pessimistic and selling when most others are optimistic.

So when an alert is issued on a stock with prevailing downtrend -- ETFC, for example, the alert should obviously be taken as a buy recommendation. At least, I think so.

In order not to confuse anyone, I intend to change all "contrarian alerts" in the future to either a "contrarian buy alert" or a "contrarian sell alert".
