Ruminations of the Contrary Investor
Ruminations of the Contrary Investor believes public impulse and contagion are often wrong, and one profits from a look beneath the surface. Editor Alex Seagle investigates market areas away from the "mob-minded" investor and focuses on contrary values. Ruminations is a thought-provoking letter with a human and essentially fundamental approach. Published continuously since 1962, the letter ponders the stock market and lists specific securities with contrary speculative possibilities "most likely to succeed," concentrating on value versus fashion, and discovering unusual situations with superior profit potential.
