What is the meaning of contrarian?
Definition
noun (English)
1. (finance) A financial investor who tends to have an opinion of market trends at variance with most others.Examples: "[T]o succeed as a contrarian, you have to be able to time trades in exactly the opposite direction of the majority. This means you have to move in when everyone else is fearful, and step back when everyone else is euphoric. This advice is easier to give than to follow, so contrarians are not just good at timing. They also are highly disciplined and able to set and follow rules for themselves that fly in the face of what the majority thinks."
