How many times have you heard the saying, "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"? It’s a truism that really packs a punch, because it’s a warning that everyone can relate to. THIS OUTSPOKEN AUTHOR TELLS IT LIKE IT ISHumphrey B. Neill was a man ahead of his time. He spoke his mind, no matter how much his beliefs rubbed against popular opinion. Based on crowd psychology, Neill explains how people tend to follow the advice of authorities without question. And how people jump on the bandwagon when a trend becomes popular, assuming that just because others are doing something, that it must be the right thing to do. THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUMIt’s so easy to get caught up in group-think. But seeing the warning signs of trouble can protect you. This book makes you stop and think before you do something you’ll later regret. Using insightful examples, Neil explains how developing the perspective of a contrarian doesn’t simply mean becoming cranky and oppositional (although my teenagers might say differently). In fact, being a contrarian means analyzing market behavior and technical indicators with a thoughtful and well-rounded perpective. And always factoring in investor sentiment. HISTORY PROVES POPULAR OPINION IS OFTEN WRONGIn fact, history is littered with examples of smart investors who got caught up in the hysteria of the crowd. In "The Art of Contrary Thinking" by Humphrey B. Neill, you can read about many historical events that demonstrate the often tragic results of public opinion. In stunning clarity, Neill details the events surrounding the Mississippi Bubble, the Florida Land Boom, Holland’s Tulipmania, and the New York Stock Market crash of 1929. By sharing historic examples of mass hysteria and group-think, Neill demonstrates how using contrarian thinking can help you see through wrong judgments in today’s events. This book consists of a thorough explanation of his approach, followed by 72 short essays, which are peppered with timeless examples of contrary thinking and crowd mentality in true-life situations. DON’T WAIT TO MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORICAL MISTAKENow you can get "The Art of Contrary Thinking" for only $7.95.

I HAVE TO ASK...

EXPECTATIONAL ANALYSIS® IS BORN
Earlier, I told you that this book changed my life. Let me tell you how it happened.
As I said, I read this book years ago, and realized that I had found the third factor I needed to make profitable investment decisions. The third factor was sentiment, or the emotional reactions, opinions, and motivational actions of people.
So, I used the ideas in Humphrey B. Neill’s little book, "The Art of Contrary Thinking," to develop the proprietary methodology that has brought me success in my investing career.
I developed Expectational Analysis as a way to combine fundamental, technical, and sentiment information to predict a stock’s performance. I developed useful screens and investment tools based on this approach to measure investor sentiment. I use these tools to discover trades with potential for big profits.
And 27 years ago, I started Schaeffer’s Investment Research from my kitchen table. The business has grown tremendously since then, and now I have tens of thousands of loyal customers all over the world who are trading more profitably using Expectational Analysis.
And it all started with my interest in options trading and this little book. Now, maybe this book won’t completely change your life and inspire you to start your own business, like it did for me. But it might give you a new way of thinking about your investments...one that could lead to bigger profits.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CROWD AND THE CONTRARIANIn this book, you’ll learn the differences between the popular opinion of the masses and the opinion of contrarian thinkers. And once you know the difference, you can use it to make better (and more profitable) trading decisions! Most people:
But contrarian thinkers:
Now that’s quite a difference! I know which side I’d rather be on. When everybody wants in on the latest craze, the actions of the crowd builds up momentum, and their emotions fuel the fire. And a crash is often the result. What makes this book so critical are the many examples Neill uses that illustrate just how joining the crowd has had unfortunate consequences.

TIDBITS OF WISDOM
When you read "The Art of Contrary Thinking," you’ll get tidbits of wisdom that will open your eyes to a new way of thinking, such as:
"What people do with their money and credit is the major motivating force or momentum in economics. . . and must be constantly observed." (p. 147)
"Contrary opinion is not just the opposite of the general opinion. It is the conclusion you arrive at when you synthesize parts of the common and opposing viewpoints." (p. 143)
"The more prominence predictions receive, the more inaccurate they are likely to be. If you believe the predictions, you act against them to protect yourself, and thus help the predictions go haywire." (p. 107)
Neill’s independent nature, quick wit, and skillful storytelling will keep you entertained.
DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE HERD
This 201-page paperback book will teach you how to be "opposed to the obvious." You’ll never look at investing opportunities the same way again!

"Mr. Neill lays out a clear framework of how one assesses what the popular opinion is, and how to teach yourself how not to get caught up in the herd and to think independently."
