Being Right or Making Money, 3rd Edition

About the Author

NED DAVIS

senior investment strategist

Ned Davis founded Ned Davis Research Group (NDRG) in 1980. Ned has been professionally involved in the stock market for over 40 years. While arguing that forecasting reliably (“being right”) is impossibly difficult, he espouses a philosophy that he feels can consistently win (“make money”) through a disciplined strategy of following the weight of objective indicator evidence. Because he also believes flexibility (ability to adapt) is crucial, NDRG also produces many sentiment indicators warning investors to be wary at crowd extremes and helping them to be open-minded about potential trend changes. A self-proclaimed risk manager, Ned dedicates his research to avoiding major mistakes, cutting losses short, and letting profits run.

Ned is the author of Being Right or Making Money and The Triumph of Contrarian Investing. He has been the subject of numerous featured interviews in Barron's and has been a featured guest many times on the late Lou Rukeyser's Wall $treet Week. NDRG is widely quoted by various media and Wall Street sources.

Ned is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He attended Harvard Business School.
