    Description of Contrarian Investment Strategies: The Next Generation

    Contrarian Investment Strategies shows investors how to outperform professional money managers and profit from potential Wall Street panics - all in Dreman's trademark style, which the New York Times calls 'witty and clear as a silver bell'.

    Dreman reveals a proven, systematic and safe way to beat the market by buying stocks of good companies when they are currently out of favor. At the heart of his book is a fundamental psychological insight: investors overreact. Dreman demonstrates how investors consistently overvalue the so-called 'best' stocks and undervalue the so-called 'worst' stocks, and how earnings and other surprises affect the best and worst stocks in opposite ways. Since surprises are a way of life in the market, Dreman shows you how to profit from these surprises with his ingenious new techniques, most of which have been developed in the nineties.

    You'll learn:

    - Why contrarian stocks offer extra protection in bear markets, as well as delivering superior returns when the bull roars.

    - Why a high dividend yield is just as important for the aggressive investor as it is for 'widows and orphans'.

    - Why owning Treasury bills and government bonds is like being fully margined at the top of the 1929 market.

    - Why initial Public Offerings are a guaranteed loser's game.

    - Why you should avoid NASDAQ ('the market of the next hundred years' ) like the plague.

    - Why crisis, panic and market downturn are the contrarian's best friend.

    - Why the chances of hitting a home run using professional research are worse than being the big winner in the New York State Lottery.
