Dictionary.com defines exceptional as 1. “forming an exception or rare instance; unusual; extraordinary” or 2. “unusually excellent; superior.” This follows with the contrarian philosophy of investing, which advocates going against the trend of the overall market.

“I buy stocks when the lemmings are headed the other way.” (Warren Buffet)

“Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well.” (Warren Buffet)

In order to acheive superior investment results, it is my belief that we must think independently and intelligently about each individual investment decision, without falling victim to herd mentality.
