Description: "Financial markets are becoming increasingly volatile - with today's communication technology investors are reacting to market information almost instantly. Sometimes they are overreacting. Counterintuitive Investing recognizes the investors' trends to overreact and offers a sound strategy, backed by years of research, to profit." "Written by author and lecturer Harlan Platt, this book makes a compelling case for stocking up on bargains - stocks with market risk but not company risk. Counterintuitive Investing argues that some companies whose stock prices have fallen because of negative news announcements or something not directly related to the essential quality of the company are perfect candidates to buy. While most investors are abandoning the stock, the astute investors buy. The goal is to buy the best of the fallen stocks and avoid the worst, and Platt helps readers determine the difference." "When you travel with the herd, you will do no better that the market. Counterintuitive Investing is a proven strategy that will enable you to prosper regardless of market conditions."--Jacket.
