What guides this analyst
- The question is never whether the consensus is right, but whether being right is already paid for at current positioning.
- Unanimity of forecast with concentration of position is the setup; a catalyst is still required to spring it.
- Known limitation: reflexive contrarianism against sturdy trends is expensive noise; I add value at extremes and subtract it everywhere else.
