Product Description
Review
Marshall Loeb "editor, "Columbia Journalism Review;" Former Editor, "Fortune" magazine David Dreman has written one of those rare, original books on the market that appear every generation or so. Powerful, profound, and extremely well documented, it provides totally new strategies for investing in the 1990s and beyond.
Product Description
David Dreman's name is synonymous with the term 'contrarian investing', and his contrarian strategies have been proven winners year after year. Now Dreman offers four all-new contrarian investment tactics that are sure to deliver high-percentage returns, regardless of the size of your portfolio. These tactics have resulted in Dreman's High Return Equity Fund being the leader since its inception in 1988. Dreman reveals a proven, systematic,and safe way to beat the market by buying stocks of good companies when they are currently out of favour. At the heart of this book is a fundamental psychological insight: investors overact. 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 how to profit from these surprises which his ingenious new techniques, most of which have been developed in the nineties. Based on cutting-edge research and irrefutable statistics, David Dreman's revolutionary techniques will benefit everyone with an interest in the investment field, both professional and layperson.

An absolute knockout. Full of sound points and simple investment strategies, all backed up with solid evidence. Particularly amusing and interesting is Dreman's devastating deconstruction of the 'Efficient' Market Hypothesis. I find myself quoting this book frequently.

It sounds trite, but this is one of the best investment books I have read in a long time. David Dremen presents a well researched, intelligent defense of contrarian strategies. The insights regarding bonds and small caps were particularly helpful and offered a fresh perspective on the usual assumptions regarding these investment options.
While the books length may seem daunting, I was actually sorry to reach the end. If only more of the investment writing available were as well thought out as this book.

The content of this book is very good - David Dreman's strategies are very good and very well researched. However, the author's very heavy and laboured writing make this a tough read - I've read a lot of investment type books and this was the worst in that respect. In addition, Dreman seems to have quite an ego - he spends much of the book dismissing others' market theories - and while he may be correct he does it in quite a personal and almost obsessive way.
