If you want long term focus, invest in an index. No single company can weather every storm. Sometimes they need short term focus to survive in the long term.

I think the idea is that a lot of the perceived instability in the economy is _caused_ or at least much amplified by the nature of stock markets. Changing how one thinks about stocks and what the ideal of a "healthy" company looks like might alleviate some of these problems.

Where did you get this idea? I don't see anyone saying it. Consider what might happen if you freeze the ability for people to borrow money. The stock market allows capital to move around more freely.

I notice this is your first comment in a year and a half. Welcome back.
