Whether you choose to buy the stocks listed as Buys in Contra, or others, is your decision. We discuss which ones we have bought and why. We also report when we sell stocks and the rationale behind each decision. In each quarterly update we provide a breakdown of which stocks we consider to be buys, holds, speculative buys, and speculative holds. We always suggest that readers analyze our buy list first and assess whether our stock purchases make sense, both from a stock purchase viewpoint and specifically to their own portfolios before they buy. We do make mistakes, and unfortunately, we always will.
