That means more buyers than sellers.
Regardless of that point - it's worth a read if only for re-inforcement of basic principals.
Remember that - no different from my own "blogging" here -- these are just one persons opinion. They should all be taken with a grain of salt -- and are just "things to think about".

Good article!
It makes sense what you're saying about "why go out of your way to find stocks no one likes." As a small-fry investor, how can I expect of myself to out-think the think tanks on Wall Street and find something they don't like yet. You may get a lucky 'hit' every now and then by getting out in front on an 'unloved' industry...but over the diversified long haul, it is very hard to
beat this industry. The best thing we can do is include ourselves in its best parts I suppose?
