Gyroscopic Investing

Contrarianism. It's the quality that is often touted as being necessary for being a successful investor. The ability to detach yourself from the crowd temperamentally and do the opposite of what one's instincts and emotions are telling them to do.

This is a quality that almost every investor enunciates and pays lip service to, but seldom follows through with.

Facebook is therefore a "Costanza Stock".

I'm officially coining that term on this forum.

While I'm at it I think I'm going to start building up my Costanza Wallet by packing it with my gold bullion.

If you think about it, value investing is only possibly if everyone else is wrong but you are right. It's like contrarianism is the simplified superstitious version of expert value investing.
