I don’t see how that’s enforceable.

For example, how do you stop a company from buying publicly traded shares, which is basically buying a company.

And if you do stop companies from buying publicly traded shares, the entire stock market collapses. Individual buyers buying shares from their personal accounts form a vanishingly small percentage of stock trades. I suspect even a lot of the individual purchases are done through corporate entities for tax, liability, and bankruptcy protection reasons.

What do you mean, how do you stop? All this is regulated. Just make it a regulation can a company can't buy shares. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but the notion that it couldn't be done is nonsense.

What about a company managing investments on individuals behalf? Like a fond.

[afhammad]

Quite fond of them. Funds are cool too

[Akronymus]

Oh, turns out german uses fond, while english uses fund.
