Thank you for driving innovation in equity markets! We need more focus on long-term capital allocation, and less on the casino aspect of stock prices.

Have you considered incorporating some form of low-frequency trading? With an auction for shares held once a day, once a month, or even once a year?

(I have heard Warren Buffett say that, if it were possible, he would prefer if investors could buy or sell Berkshire Hathaway shares only once annually at a price close to intrinsic value. The low frequency would encourage investors to focus on understanding businesses instead of short-term price movements.)

Yes
Equity auctions already happen at the open and close (and any restarts).
