We discuss some of the classic contrarian tools and show you a few new ones, too. We'll help you find and recognize contrarian stock plays, and leave you with a workable strategy with specific rules for buying and selling that takes a lot of the guesswork out of investing in stocks. This is not a get-rich-quick book. It’s not financial alchemy. It’s not magic. It’s about basic, sound investment strategies that offer the prospect of excellent returns, with less downside risk than a portfolio stuffed with the latest hot ideas.
