[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 9220893, member: 6804070"] Umm, does anyone consider Wikipedia athoratative? If the article is well written, it will be sourced and you can use that source, otherwise it's pretty much hearsay. Thanks. This example is pretty much self-regulation i.e. the US government didn't put laws in place, the NFL did it for itself. There are a few, far to few imo, companies that self-regulate for the long term. But publicly traded companies are driven to the quarter by the architecture of the stock market. So make individuals (and the companies they run or chose to invest in) behave in a certain way. Sure, we do that today, but so far have pretty much limited it to health and safety, not job security in the US. Some European countries have more restrictive labor laws, such as companies inability to layoff people or even close down locations that would result in job loss. But that too comes at a price, often times foreign investment in those countries is poor, because having to employee a set number of people for decades after your venture has failed is a big liability to risk. I would think some sort of fundamental change to the stock market that de-emphasized the quarterly earnings report would be ideal. But not sure how you get there. Investors want to make profit, and the cost to move an investment from one company to the next is pretty low. Meaning if a company does "perform" in a single quarter, they lose investment dollars. I just don't know how you make the changes you are talking about without taking away the fundamental aspect of a free market; investors getting to chose where they invest their money. [/QUOTE]
