Will there be a limitation on buying/selling to prevent automated traders?

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

Can you expand on this?


Sure. I don't have an objection to short-term investors, even the long-term investors like having them around to provide liquidity. But I don't think an investor who has an average equity holding period of 10 minutes should be involved in corporate governance.
