Make Tremendous Returns... With Little Downside Risk

by Brian Hunt

"Bad to less bad" is a phrase to describe extreme contrarian trading.

It amounts to finding assets that have been hammered for some reason... be it a natural disaster, a broad market selloff, or a long industry downturn... buying them after the market has bottomed... and making tremendous returns when a bit of normalcy returns to the market – or when conditions get "less bad" for the industry.

It's the single greatest trading strategy on the planet.

The Three Types of Contrarians

The three different types of contrarians:
1. those who are early,
2. those who are late and
3. those that are right


Professional investors tend to be early while non-professionals tend to be late.


“Value investors score their biggest gains when they buy an under priced asset, average down unfailingly and have their analysis proved out.

Thus there are two essential ingredients for profit in a declining market: you have to have a view on intrinsic value, and you have to hold that view strongly enough to be able to hang in and buy even as price declines suggest that you’re wrong.

Oh yes, there’s a third; you have to be right.”

Strategist Tom Lee’s cagey plan for beating the market

by Alex Rosenberg

If investors want to perform well, they ought to pay close attention to what research analysts recommend, according to well-known strategist Tom Lee.

Then, they should do the exact opposite.


The 20 percent of S&P 500 stocks that are "least liked" by analysts (based on ratings compiled by FactSet) tend to outperform the index by 8.7 percent, with an impeccable track record of beating the market.

Counterintuitive Contrarianism

by Chris Johnson

What I mean by that is that I'm interested in having a contrarian view on a stock only when I can see the Street's view on that stock doesn't make sense.

I can't turn my back on a stock that has all the signs that the market is either
a) ignoring its performance, or
b) has yet to discover that the stock is actually leaving the market behind.

I like to see a strong technical and fundamental stock that the rest of the Street has yet to pick up on.

Tail Funds: Contrarian task of preparing for events that are more than three standard deviations from the norm, or those that have a 0.3 percent chance of coming to pass.
