I have the opinion here that stocks should be harder to trade. If you bought stocks and had to hold them for a 5 year period, and instead got paid a dividend, then the push for quarterly results would not force companies to be quite as rapidly self-sabotaging. Corporate bonds instead of trying to beat the bell. IPOs and that market are the root cause to a lot of shit.
