<<If you have a website that tracks people's guesses as to how a stock will perform, would you go with the herd or bet contrarian? It's a tougher question than it seems, because your first thought will probably be mine, which is I am smarter than the masses, so I'll go contrarian. But then the doubts kick in, what if the masses create momentum in the stock which drives the stock up temporarily.>> Reminds me of a quote that I'll paraphrase because I don't remember exactly how it went but essentially, "A contrarian is only right at the point of a trend reversal. Everyone else is right in between." Makes sense to me. .......VVVVVVVVVV
