Especially if it’s also somebody selling you info on how to make money.

Step one: identify a mark and tell them you know how to make money

Step two: charge momey for that alleged information

yes there is; investments like buying guns to arm your antifascist and red guard friends; putting money in strike funds and bail funds; buying books (or printer paper and ink) to help comrades engage in theory and host study groups or print agitprop material to distribute and poster…

but yeah “marxist stock-trading” is an oxymoron. You are being the opposite of a communist; you are becoming a petty capitalist contributing to subsidizing the big capitalist’s exploitation of labor, in exchange for dividends off of generated profits ie exploited surplus value created by labor; and trying to leverage other petty and big capitalists’ confidence in the stability and growth of profits to sell for higher than you bought.

Aside from it being contradictory on its face to “stock-trade like a communist”, I’d feel dirty as hell if I spent time and effort using the tools of liberation that are dialectical and historical materialism to analyze the confidence-game ponzi-scheme that is capitalist stock market and gamble on stocks(which again, the value and its fluctuation comes from real and expected profitability; that is, the surpluses and stability of growth of these surpluses that can be expected to be vampirized from exploited labor) rather than on exposing the most critical points of contradiction and agitating and organizing their rupture to the benefit of the communist movement.

The stock market is basically gambling and designed to serve the bourgeoisie. Better to read theory than books on “how to make money”.

The entirety of “this kind of topic” is selling the book to people who want to learn to make money, thereby making the author money and leaving them with no incentive to give actual advice.

i don’t. the gist of the book – and i’ll emphasize again that “gist” is all there is because it’s ai generated drivel – is that if you consider the material basis of the value of companies when making investment decisions, you’ll probably come out ahead against people who are swayed by the empty promises of vaporware. start by reading actual theory, even something short like wages, price, and profit and just apply that to whether you think a company will be worth investing in, and it’ll be a better use of your time.

And even that is abdominal advice.

The stock market often is counterintuitive to material analysis.

Tesla is the highest valued car company in America.

Games top is a hot stock because a bunchnof nerds figured out mass market manipulation, they’re brilliant material analysis was to start selling nfts, somehow their stock remains high.

I’m a 100% sure it is AI generated drivel, down to the cover and maybe even the author’s name. Look at his other two books if you don’t believe me.
