It's not a comfortable position to be in however I think the key to following through with such bets takes a certain kind of mindset- "To succeed as a contrarian you must recognize what the crowd believes, have concrete justification for why the majority is wrong, and have the patience and conviction to stick with what is, by definition, an unpopular bet" - Whitney Tilson

I think this is what keeps investing endlessly interesting for me. There's always a reason to at least consider the other angle.
