    Default Contrarian Headlines?

    We have heard of the Time, Newsweek, Barron's etc., Front Cover contrarian headlines, but is the Drudge Report also a contrarian play?

    Today's Headline:

    Today's headline on CBSMarketwatch:

    "Dow 20,000, here we come."

    Does this offset the great depression guy?
