Being contrarian comes with its own risk, but sometimes it is better to be contrarian: 5 metal stocks with an upside potential of up to 48%

While it is not always possible to do so, you should try to assign a clear “reason” for buying a stock. Because it is this reason that determines the amount of money to be invested, and also for how long you hold that stock. Why are we mentioning this at this point? Because talking about metal stocks may today appear like being contrarian. At a time when the world is talking about what US president Trump could do when it comes to China, picking metal stocks, whose fortunes are dependent on what happens in the Chinese economy, is being contrarian. So, yes it will be a contrarian trade. But there is logic to it.
