The Ruminator: A Collection of Thoughts and Suggestions on Contrary Thinking
SKU:
By Humphrey B. Neill
5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 120 pages, Paper.
"When everybody thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong."
In 1967, Edward Johnson II, founder of Fidelity Investments, launched the Fidelity Contrafund in the hope of providing investors with an investment alternative that harnesses the power of the ten words quoted above. It was Humphrey B. Neill, author of The Art of Contrary Thinking and the originator of the Theory of Contrary Opinion that so inspired Edward Johnson. Today, the Contrafund has over $60Bn in assets.
The Ruminator is a collection of brief essays by Humphrey B. Neill (1977) that illuminate the way of thinking that a contrarian must cultivate in order to avoid falling into the trap of mass opinion that is so hard for most of us to escape. In The Ruminator the reader will find thought provoking ruminations over the hectic events and conditions that prevailed in the five years between 1968 and 1972; the years during which Neill published a monthly magazine titled The Ruminator and from which these essays are taken.
This expanded 2nd edition contains a new introduction by Shorepoint Capital founder Tim Vanech and an afterword by Albert Neill. Pick up The Ruminator and learn that it pays to be contrary.
