If Camus were an investor, how would he face the market's Fluctuation?


Imagine a scene like this: Camus is sitting in a seaside café in Algeria, holding a financial newspaper, watching the rise and fall of stock prices. He would not anxiously calculate profits and losses like other investors, nor would he be obsessed with the charts of technical analysis. Instead, he would observe everything with a transcendent and clear-minded attitude.

He might think: "What is the difference between the fluctuations of these numbers and Sisyphus pushing a stone up the hill? Prices rise, investors are excited; prices fall, investors are frustrated. Then there are new rises and falls, repeating endlessly, never stopping. Isn't this a perfect embodiment of the absurd?"

But Camus would not give up on investing, just as Sisyphus would not refuse to push the stone. On the contrary, he would find a unique sense of beauty and meaning in this absurdity.

This is the Camus-style investment attitude: acknowledging the absurdity of investment, yet still participating rationally; accepting the existence of uncertainty, but not giving up on the search for meaning.
