Vignettes on Contrarian Thought and Practice

Every contrarian trader eventually constructs his own unique way of taking advantage of the market mistakes crowds make. The chapter follows is a sequence of short memos that the author has written for his own benefit over the years he spent developing his approach to contrarian trading. The memos author wrote for various reasons. Sometimes he would come across a thought-provoking book and would then write a short review attempting to put it into a broader context within contrarian theory. Occasionally he would learn of a contrarian method that wasn't explained in any book. The author puts forth several vignettes on contrarian thought and practice.
