Investing Principles
The following are principles we believe in:
- A stock that has seen a recent significant percentage price move may make a good candidate to open a position.
- A stock in which there is overly pessimistic or overly optimistic market sentiment may make a good candidate.
- A stock that appears oversold or overbought still needs to be researched thoroughly in order to determine whether it truly is oversold or overbought.
- Be patient: hold a position for up to 3 months to give proper time for it to come together.

About ContraTrade Founder
Hi. I am the founder of ContraTrade. For over 20 years I have studied investing, trading, markets, and economics. I started trading stocks around the time the dot-com bubble started bursting in 2000. I started trading options in 2007 during the housing bubble and subsequent crash.
I have worked as a corporate accountant, financial analyst, and business analyst at some of the biggest multi-national corporations in the world such as Google and Oracle. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business from Boston College with majors in Finance and Accounting.
My goal is to educate users of this site on investing and trading so that they can become more savvy, successful traders.
