Will there be a limitation on buying/selling to prevent automated traders? ( Or plans for this)

No, that’s currently not legal in the US

We focus instead on finding ways to differentiate the experiences of the “tourist” speculators from the “citizen” long-term investors

I don't understand from the website this bit which is about the "Long-Term Stakeholder Policy". What was the motivation for adding specific fields to this policy regarding diversity, the environment, and employee retention strategies? are these just examples?

- The company’s impact on the environment and its community - The company’s approach to diversity and inclusion - The company’s approach to investing in its employees

“LTSE has joined with several organizations to build and launch a year-long experiment to support the economic mobility of Black entrepreneurs impacted by COVID-19.” (ltse.com) Congratulations, you think you do the right thing and became racist.

How is that racist?

How much time and money did you spend building the MVP? How did you validate it?

We have raised on the order of $90M so far. It cost us almost $20M to get to the initial regulatory approval

I’ve answered about MVPs elsewhere in this thread but a big part of what made this possible is our superior cost structure due to being a software-native company

Validation I’ll have to answer a little later, once we make a little more progress

We wanted to make it explicit that these issues must be addressed in the stakeholder policy. Mostly we did this to create clarity for the regulators as to where such disclosures will live. This language mirrors other SEC-approved rules, but with stronger disclosure requirements here

It’s not meant to be an exhaustive list

> adopt corporate governance that aligns their behavior and incentives to the long term.

What does this mean? What quantitive measures are you using to qualify long term incentives and behaviours?

No offence but you don't seem to have an answer to this question.

For example is RDSA long term? They have been around for ever and people will need cars and oils for the forseable future at least 10 years is this long term? What happens when the oil runs out / global warming / move to electric cars is it still long term and how long will that term end?

I need qualitative facts and figures before investing.

I buy stocks that provide value to people in a way thats scaleable and I have fixed time periods for when I expect investments to return like 5 years or 10 years.

When some one can't talk about the value their service provides and use loose terms like "long term" how long is long? This is an easy pass for me.
