In Neff's contributions to the Barron's roundtable I've found nothing interesting, and even a couple rather simple-minded statements or two, so I never thought to buy the book. But with your rec, I might.

I don't believe it. I don't believe there's anyone more rationally contrarian than me. There's nothing like picking a fight.

Jim, I just don't believe in top-down market-timing anymore. As long as I can find enough contrarian values to fill my portfolio, I'll be fully invested. A few times in the last few years they seemed to dry up and my cash levels rose. But those periods didn't last. If a period like that does last, then I might be convinced the market is in for something. But I'll let the bottom-up approach tell me that.

Mike

I am tempted to short techs, but I got burned so badly doing that before (even though the two stocks I was short fell 80 and 90% - of course that was after they hit my stop loss point for about five minutes, enough for my trades to happen.) No mas

LOL. Strategy perfect, but tactics, tactics, tactics.

There's still a lot of trash to take out.
