I'm a dyed-in-the-wool contrarian, but I admit putting your hard-earned money in a hated investment that's been falling for months – or even years – is easier said than done. It's a tough, counterintuitive step to take.
And yet, when it comes to nearly anything else, who among us can resist browsing the "sale" section for the best deal, or waiting to get a "Black Friday" discount?
The truth is, investing isn't different.
Contrarian investing is the purest expression of the "buy low, sell high" paradigm. It can net those brave enough to be "first in" some outsized long-term profits.
That's why I'm excited to show you an asset that couldn't be more hated right now; after a years-long struggle, it's at the "point of maximum disdain."
