      I was checking W3C Markup Validation and in report it was shown that  that pages (not post or any other URL's just PAGES) at investmentcontrarians.com are 301 redirected.

      e.g. original URL "http://www.investmentcontrarians.com/debt-crisis" which is redirected to "http://www.investmentcontrarians.com/debt-crisis/"

      I know that its not that serious issue, but still want to know why only pages are being redirected and how can we avoid it.

        That is actually very standard WordPress behavior and should happen. Its redirecting the non-slash to the slash version. Either way, Matt Cutts has said inconsistent slashes will not really harm you, but its still good practice to have it redirect. From what I can tell, you don't need to change anything!

        Hope that helps
