Contrarian Value Ideas

[fung_derf]

Those ARE some contrarian ideas! The only one I'd consider gambling on (if I were you) right now is $FSLR. Although POOL looks like a possibility.
Since I'm not really a great contrarian, I'd want to see FSLR above $162 before I trusted it. But it's at $154 currently.

Many many years ago, I knew the guy who ran ...geez...can't recall if it was MFS or Mainstay or Dreyfus's Contrarian Fund. He was just coming off a great year of 63% return. But his mutual fund was unlike any other.
At the time, he was holding 3 stocks and 87% cash. I need to see if that fund still exists and whether or not he has retired.

Considering I'm a chart guy and look for breakouts, I'm probably a poor source for contrarian picks.
