Every investment is becoming high-risk because of the
unpredictability and instability created by short-term thinking and fast
profit. Investment should be dated and locked in for a year from purchase.
Those older than a year should be able to be sold one date per day at
most. This might discourage speculation
and gamblers treating the markets like a casino. This might also end the manipulation
done through quick computer trades. It would bring some stability and
predictability, giving the situation time in many cases to improve before a
sell-off can occur. Sell-offs would be staggered.
Then quarters would be less significant than years and we
might get some more long-term financial thinking. Then investments would be
investing rather than gambling and companies wouldn’t have to be as terrified
of having the rug suddenly yanked out. Bubbles might deflate rather than
bursting or collapsing. Short-term fluctuations wouldn’t be crises.
Stabilize the climate and the storms will lessen in frequency
and impact. We might even get some fair weather for a change.
