David Dreman's name is synonymous with the term "contrarian
investing," and his contrarian strategies have been proven
winners year after year. His techniques have spawned
countless imitators, most of whom pay lip service to the
buzzword "contrarian," but few can match his performance.
His Kemper-Dreman High Return Fund has been the leader since
its inception in 1988 -- the number one equity-income fund
among all 208 ranked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
Dreman is also one of a handful of money managers whose
clients have beaten the runaway market over the past five,
ten, and fifteen years. Now, as the longest bull market in the history of the stock
market winds down, there is increasing volatility and a
great deal of uncertainty. This is the climate that tests
the mettle of the pros, the worries of the average investor,
and the success of David Dreman's brilliant new strategies
for the next millennium. Contrarian Investment Strategies: The Next Generation shows
investors how to outperform professional money managers and
profit from potential Wall Street panics -- all in Dreman's
trademark style, which The New York Times calls "witty and
clear as a silver bell." Dreman reveals a proven,
systematic, and safe way to beat the market by buying stocks
of good companies when they are currently out of favor. At
the heart of his book is a fundamental psychological
insight: investors overreact. Dreman demonstrates how
investors consistently overvalue the so-called "best" stocks
and undervalue the so-called "worst" stocks, and how
earnings and other surprises affect the best and worst
stocks in opposite ways. Since surprises are a way of life
in the market, Dreman shows you how to profit from these
surprises with his ingenious new techniques, most of which
have been developed in the nineties.
