For The Contrarian Investor
If you are the type of investor who likes to "go-it-alone" as opposed to "running with the herd," then you may find much to interest you in several Web sites that are specifically geared toward the independent-minded investor.
Contrarian Investing Association is an independent network of contrarian investors who all participate in the upkeep of the site. Members 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. Basic membership is free with registration.
The site also allows members to post their own stock tips and ideas as well as read others' suggestions. Members can discuss these ideas via a message board. Lists of articles posted by other members can be accessed as well as a monthly update with commentary, market news and an article of the month.
Bearmarketcentral.com is a site devoted to bear-market-minded investors and supports a contrarian investing style. Periodically, an updated commentary is posted on the home page that discusses the current market in relation to the bear market philosophy. Archived commentaries are available as well.
The site's Bear Cub section offers a free financial education center presented by Online Trading Academy that is geared toward individual investors of all skill and knowledge levels. Links to useful Web sites and answers to commonly asked bearish investing questions are given as well. The site also offers links to bearish and contrarian investing articles and commentary, free quotes and charts, and related books. The "Fotley Mule" offers daily jokes and cartoons poking fun at contrarian and bearish investors.
Contra the Herd calls itself "an information service for independent individual investors." The site gives its stock-picking philosophy which includes statements like, "concentrate on turnaround situations and stocks that are currently unpopular but are likely to regain their luster in the near future" and "analyze management's ability to achieve stated goals."
Subscribers have access to buy and sell information while non-subscribers can learn only about the sells. When a stock is bought or sold, subscribers receive an E-mail or a fax with the necessary information. Contra the Heard is a 16-to-20-page newsletter that includes a commentary on the market and analyzes portfolio performance; it is published quarterly.
PrudentBear.com offers up-to-date market commentary and news as well as articles, presentations and arguments for a current bear market. Commentaries are updated almost daily. Current news is broken into sections that include market movers, the economy and the Federal Reserve, market and finance, company and industry, and international.
The Bear Case section offers a slideshow presentation called "A Bear Tour," which explains why investors should take a long-term bearish stance in the market. The site also includes a mutual fund section that shows performance data and other information on mutual funds in the Prudent Bear family. Access to the site is free.
You can find these contrarian sites listed in our "Links" section.
