FYI: It can be profitable to invest like a contrarian, but it is very difficult to follow that path. Morningstar research has shown that fund investors must be willing to endure often prolonged bouts of underperformance to realize long-term outperformance. It's easier said than done, but one way to embolden oneself to hang on to or even add to a fund that has been stuck in a fallow period is to look at what the strategy's managers are doing
