In this country it has been done through SP500 e-mini futures,
since circa 2002. The procedure is in place. As far as
government ownership being bad for stocks, I agree, but it is
not necessarily any worse than ownership by pension funds. Older
companies owned by pension funds or the government are run
by harvard or other school MBA management
interested in stealing from the shareholders (to enrich
themselves) more than interested
in running it. Private enterprizes will function fine, and so
will public companies that are run by the majority stock
holders. In other words, I don't see much difference whether
the stock is owned by a pension fund or by the government.
A notable exception: AAPL. I'm not sure if AAPL is an exception
that proves the rule. Steve Jobs did start AAPL, so... while
it was run by some Amelio, it sucked. And, AAPL did buy NEXT.
Maybe AAPL proves the rule. -ggg-
