Usage Tips
Can AI accurately identify contrarian opportunities?
⚠️ AI excels at data screening, but contrarian investing is about going against consensus.
Value:
- Quickly screens for low valuation + solid fundamentals
- Quantifies sentiment indicators to gauge market panic levels
- Helps avoid "value traps" — stocks that look cheap but are declining
Limitations:
- AI may be influenced by mainstream narratives, making it hard to be truly contrarian
- Neff succeeded by holding for years waiting for mean reversion — AI can't give you that patience
- Some stocks are cheap for good reason — AI may not fully identify structural declines
✅ Use AI for initial screening and data validation, but contrarian conviction must come from your own independent research. Neff said: "Undervalued stocks are undervalued precisely because nobody likes them."

Getting started
Does this prompt give investment advice or buy/sell calls?
No. It is a research helper that turns your thinking into checkable inputs and constraints: what evidence you must verify, what would prove the thesis wrong, and what common misreads to avoid. Treat the output as a draft, not a signal. Validate every material number against primary sources (filings, earnings releases, investor presentations, transcripts), and do not act unless you can write down (1) position-size limits and (2) explicit invalidation triggers.
What inputs should I provide for a reliable result?
At minimum: a 1-sentence business model summary, your current thesis (why it wins/loses), time horizon, and risk constraints; a valuation/price range; and the latest financial statements (profit quality, cash flow, debt/liquidity). Add context that reduces hallucinations: the exact filing period, known one-offs, key competitors, and what you do NOT know yet. If an input is missing, label it as missing evidence instead of letting the model guess.
Validation and boundaries
How do I validate the output?
Validate falsifiable claims one by one. Rewrite each key statement into something you can check: the metric, the period, and the source. Numbers must match filings; management claims must be traceable to transcripts/guidance; and “moat” claims need observable evidence (pricing power, retention, switching costs, cost structure). Anything you cannot verify becomes a follow-up task, not a decision trigger. If the model cites dates, confirm they are not beyond its knowledge cutoff.
When should I NOT act on the output?
If you cannot write down invalidation triggers, a position-size cap, or primary-source evidence for the key claims behind “Contrarian Value”, do not act. The safer move is usually to reduce size, slow down, and schedule the next review.
