Successful investors like Warren Buffet do the opposite of the masses. Most people's investment is just gambling because they just accept the vested interest of the banks, government & advisors as the truth so hand over their money & responsibility and just hope the manager knows about how the phase of the economic cycle effects the profitability of different business sectors and is bothered to chose the right companies, in the right sector, at the right time when they get paid regardless of performance.
Risk goes down as you apply more of your knowledge so investing in real education gives a much better return than giving your money to banks for the hope to get a few percent in a couple of years if they chose to pay you while they are doing what you could - investing in tax liens & tax deeds for zero risk and average returns of 16%pa. Your financial advisor will not tell you about these because they can not get commission for telling you.

Doing the opposite of what other people do is a good idea when it comes to investments, it is a bit contrarian, however, there are a lot more rules to the game then just diversification and not doing what others are doing. I think starting with turning out the news and start reading on investment theory. News headlines will distract you while they theory of investment and economics gives you a clearer picture. This is what other people are not doing.
