I've read a lot of warren buffet in my time, and I've really come to respect his financial perspective, and one thing I've noticed about him is that he purposely keeps his share price unsplit and very high, making it thinly traded.
The NYSE has kept away from computer trading and compared to the NASDAQ, doesn't have a lot volume, even though it is a more important market.
This has lead to a far more stable and less volatile market. Less volatility makes planning much easier and business much smoother.
Interestingly, good things are happening to the L$ even though there are a lot of speed bumps and pylons in the way, keeping out traders.
My question here is, since LL isn't profiting off of lindex, do they really need to encourage volume?
Are features such as limit buy orders really necessary? All they seemed to do was act as a temptation for 'bad actors' such as IGE to sell off in an irrational rush and drag the market down.
