For example if 80% of analysts are said to be bullish on the market, a contrarian will look for technical and/or fundamental indicators to establish shorts positions.Fibocyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270612148813063514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375175091050207746.post-2446124268188329942009-08-18T22:17:21.650-04:002009-08-18T22:17:21.650-04:00good point and pardon my ignorance,whats a contrar...good point and pardon my ignorance,whats a contrarian - someone who argues the point or who fights for the underdog - there will be no consumer spending for months to come but we must leave all of this natter in the very capable hands of our respective governments - NOT - lets all just go bankrupt and blame visa and the government!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375175091050207746.post-25393236927824218792009-07-04T11:15:29.284-04:002009-07-04T11:15:29.284-04:00Good Point...Contrarians beware...as always.Good Point...Contrarians beware...as always.Fibocyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270612148813063514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375175091050207746.post-89006656519148318142009-07-04T07:50:14.694-04:002009-07-04T07:50:14.694-04:00Thanks RD for the great charts and thoughtful comm...Thanks RD for the great charts and thoughtful commentary.
