Contrarian investing

Contrarian investing is an investment strategy where investors seek to buy assets that are undervalued or out of favor, while selling those that are overhyped or overvalued. This approach is based on the belief that the majority sentiment often leads to mispriced securities. Contrarian investors look for market opportunities against prevailing trends, believing that popular opinion may not accurately reflect a company's true value. By being willing to go against the crowd, contrarians aim to achieve higher returns when the market corrects itself and those undervalued assets become more recognized and appreciated.
