> Warren Buffett proposed that the stock market should be open less frequently

This will result in another market where deals will be made and then finalized on that 'official' when it opens. It's like with employee stock. You can sell it before you can...

Not if we disallow it. We have laws in place to try and prevent a lot of natural actions of markets.

Instant biggest black market of all time, corruption skyrockets, only the richest people get fair deals on investments.

They'll get better than fair deals. They will almost exclusively own all the available pricing information.

I thought that this was explicitly forbidden in most SV employment contracts? "Thou shalt not offer your shares as collateral or (I forget the exact language) write or purchase any kind of derivative to hedge downside.' No buying PUTS! No selling CALLs! No stock-backed loans!

Or do people make secondary deals despite this, because, well, the company doesn't know, does it?
