THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
You got me, I don't read that book anymore...
However, I am actually a professor of literature and I hold an advanced degree in political science and economics (I teach those subjects every few semesters). I don't know much about you, except the obvious--you don't know sh**. Now I know it is popular among conservatives to criticize and demean professors because they use facts and figures and encourage critical thinking..so I'll just state the very obvious:
Ayn Rand is a selfish megalomaniac, and both her and the beliefs she expresses in her novels are hateful, heartless and depraved. As for figures, this movie has a free market value of about $3 a share. Just because you believe that the Rand is a saint and the movie should be worth $20 doesn't make it so. Good luck to you in your trading and please come back again in a few months.
