A Painful Year for Contrarian Trades

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: There’s been something of a bull market in people who consider themselves a contrarian investor in recent years. People took notice of those who called the tech bubble in the late-1990s, the the real estate bubble in the mid-2000s or the bottom of the stock market in early 2009. Everyone would now like to think that they’re greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.
Regards,
Ted

    Is FCNTX, the original nominally contrarian fund, too big to be called that anymore? I wonder when the first article will appear this year about how Danoff cannot keep it going, owing to size. (Just observing today how much better Contrafund did for 2015 than RPG, SCHD, NOBL, SPX, ....)
