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…

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