Abstract: Human psychology is the key to understanding the world and also to understanding investment. Go against the crowd, against the specialist advices in the papers and in the end, you will be one of the few winners. This is what the ”against the crowd” supporters tell us. The market will always give you the chance to play your card differently, the problem is: can you go against every one of our instincts? Are you strong enough as to take decisions against every impulse that you get from your body and your mind?
