Curious about getting into the stock market and found this. Anyone have a pdf of this or something? Says it's only 95 pages. Thinking of buying this if nobody else has a pdf and uploading it for shits and giggles lmao

      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

        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.

            sure, it depends on what your goals are. if i recall correctly, the book even has a section on fictitious capital that's formatted as 5 paragraphs with an introductory paragraph and conclusion paragraph and 3 paragraphs in the middle of restating a few definitions of fictitious capital and how marxist investors need to take this in to account when making investment decisions.

    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.

    Damn, it’s a shame it’s probably AI generated. I would be interested in reading something like this

      Could just invest all your money into AES states. Find like Chinese index funds or something.

        From personal experience I can say that the stock market of less financialized economies (like China, and to a lesser extent Germany) aren't that good for investing. As a proof just look at the performance of the US stock market (most financialized economy in the world) against the stock market of virtually any other country, you'll find out that the US stock market very often performs better. At the expense of the real, material, economy.

        (Just to clarify I'm neither a financial expert nor a big investor, just somebody who's saving for retirement since the pension system in my country is a complete joke)
