Bad day at the office for Contrarian portfolio

Hmmm i've had better days! Every stock is down in the Contrarian Investor UK portfolio apart from Rockhopper (after a shocker on Friday) and Angel Mining, so its a case of taking the pain for today. Xcite is recovering from a sharp dive this morning that made no sense at all but it's still down 4%. Bowleven can't stop falling and Sirius has a 10% fall after its poor RNS regarding its Chinese Adavale project partnership.

It's sometimes about courage in your convictions when the portfolio takes a tumble. I have faith that research is correct on all my holdings and that they are all worth much more than today's share price action indicates. Its about taking the rough with the smooth in this game! This is what being a true Contarian investor is about and on some days it can be uncomfortable! Sometimes it takes more than a few days for a trade to come good, but inevitably they will with patience - this game is not about luck or gambling its about "buy and research" then do even more research (and don't believe everything you read on a bulletin board or even a blog!!).
