I still favor a HUGE change in investing rules in this country. The hedge fund types who trade every few minutes (or milliseconds) are not about building a business or building the company, they are all about just plain extracting money from the shares in any way possible.

If we plan on having true value in our companies and allowing them to build and invest to grow and build their business, it is not having to answer to rumor controlled short term traders who ONLY consider what the next EPS or guidance is all about.

I suggest that we severely change the tax policy around how to create VALUE in stocks again based upon a long term investment and growth outlook and not about what they said this last 30 seconds at some conference.

Suggest 90% tax on any trade held less than 1 hour.
75% on less than 1 day (24 hours)
50% less than a week
40% less than a month
25% less than a year (Capital gains type investing)
10% up to 5 years ( Company backer)
5% more than 5 years.(company builder)

This way we will invest for the right reasons, which is to invest in a company who creates VALUE and PRODUCTS and not to speculate on some balloon hype fest to get a huge valuation bubble, only to go bankrupt a couple of months later when all the short term hypesters have bailed out of it.
