Description of The New Contrarian Investment Strategy

In this thoroughly updated revision of his highly successful and influential book, Dreman analyzes the investment climate of the 1980s with its widely swinging markets and interest rates; shows how the investor can take advantage of these fluctuations; and gives his own contrarian assessment of the current trends. He explains:

• ÊWhy we are entering the greatest bull market of the century
  
• How to select superior stocks
  
• When to sell
  
• How to protect yourself and benefit from today's wildly fluctuating interest rates
  
• ÊWhy the advice of brokers and investment advisors is most often wrong
  
• When to look into bonds, money market funds, financial futures, options, as well as the host of new financial instruments developed in the past few years.
  
  Based on extensive financial research and a subtle understanding of the psychological forces that shape the market, Dreman's techniques, which have been explored more fully in this book, are built on conservative investment principles designed always to limit potential downside.
