Welcome to the Prudent Contrarian. Throughout history man has acted with a herd mentality, which sometimes serves us well, but at other times gets us into trouble. Here we try to look at something without just buying the story, but looking behind to see the substance. Initially, the site will focus on theories in investing and potential home remedies. We hope that you will bare with us as we create this site, and hopefully provide you with information will allow you to not be a lemming.
