How would an Objectivist invest in the stock market?

0

Would it be a fundamental, technical or techno-fundamental approach? Day, swing or long-term?

I'm not sure there can be a single answer. Wouldn't it depend on the individual investor's values and goals?

I don't think this is a philosophical question. The most that one could say is that an Objectivist would try to invest objectively, i.e. based on facts and not wishful thinking, and would seek profit.

Yaron Brook, who was a finance professor before taking over the Ayn Rand Institute, has a recorded lecture course on "Investing: An Objective Approach", but I haven't listened to it so I can't say anything about it other than that it exists.

He has a couple of lectures dealing with economic issues. I would have a difficult time trying to overlay his analysis of "What are stocks.", "What are bonds.", "What about market timing.", "How does the role of investing intertwine itself economically." with the O.P. question(s).

Expanding a bit on trying to invest objectively - to do so is in essence educating oneself about investing in the stock market, learning to identify the relevent factors pertainent to making prudent decisions with regard to ones money therein.
