Upon deciding the different areas to invest, Dan typically then digs down into balance sheets, fundamentals, and growth rates to find solid companies to invest in.

Dan definitely considers himself a contrarian. If all the analysts love the stock, you can bet he is not a fan.

If you don't dollar cost average, then you aren't a good manager in his opinion.
