"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. Contrarian investing tends to emphasize out-of-favor securities that are selling at low price multiples to some measure of value, such as low price-earnings or price-to-sales ratios. Some of the most famous contrarian investors include Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett and David Dreman." -- American Association of Individual Investors
Posters are encouraged to post commentary and articles they find interesting as well as discuss their current stock holdings and those they are considering for future purchase. When posting an individual stock selection, please include reasons why you think that it is a contrarian investment opportunity -- just the company's name or a stock chart is not sufficient.
Because of some recent overly-simplified postings on this forum, I think that some further clarifications of the guidelines are necessary. Ask yourself a simple question: Have I provided sufficient information to help a sensible reader in reaching a buying/selling decision on the stock as a contrarian investment.
