Contrarian Investing In Bitesize Pieces

12 November 2012
In this week’s episode:

Everyone claims to be a contrarian investor, so at least half of them must be wrong -- contrarian investing should be as unfashionable as shoulder pads and Hawaiian shirts. In fact, according to Alastair Mundy, head of the Contrarian team at Investec Asset Management, genuine contrarianism should leave you feeling sick to the stomach at the fear of betting against the crowd. Discover why he's a contrarian investor, how some of his investments worked out -- and exactly why he doesn't want to fight Lennox Lewis, in this week's episode of Money Talk with Owain Bennallack. A transcript of this podcast is available here and here.

 

If you're keen to earn even greater returns, this free Motley Fool report -- "10 Steps To Making A Million In The Market" -- could help you on your way. The report highlights how choppy markets can still provide the big winners to take you to that magic million. But hurry, the report is available for a limited time only.

About the show

MoneyTalk is a podcast from The Motley Fool (UK). Hosted by David Kuo, it’s a lively roundtable discussion where Fool writers and guests from the world of money thrash out the financial issues of the day.

Join us as we take an irreverent look at anything and everything to do with shares – from how to pick your first share to how to manage your own pension to what mini skirts have to do with Britain's economy (quite a lot, according to David).

From quick tips on how to tidy up a wayward portfolio to in depth discussions with industry experts, MoneyTalk tackles a different topic every week.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
