[edit] Monroe Trout is he an objectivst?

• Did you know that Rand Financial Services http://www.randfinancial.com was founded by Monroe Trout

Also see the companies website

About Rand:About Rand

A quote from the article:

“Rand holds mystique because the company was founded through the purchase of Gerald Futures by hedge fund legend Monroe Trout. (The name was changed to Rand, as in Ayn Rand, the controversial author of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.) Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved the Rand model as the only FCM owned by a fund, despite some industry opposition.”

• Also the article from Forbes Magazine about a documentary about Ayn Rand's life financed by Monroe Trout

RE : http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1998/0323/6106181a.html

"Critics are laying the same rap on Michael Paxton's triumphal two- hour-plus Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life, which has drawn the Motion Picture Academy's notice this year. Working with "under $1 million" from Bermuda commodities trader Monroe Trout and the cooperation of Rand's estate, Paxton celebrates the outspoken author's 77 years with footage, effects and music depicting the heroine's underexplored life. Too bad that cultism creeps in."
