The Long-Term Stock Exchange filed a comment letter with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this week on the proposed rescission of Rule 611. LTSE recommends adopting a large-order exemption rather than rescinding Rule 611: "The Proposal’s most concrete investor-facing concern is that Rule 611 requires institutional orders to access small displayed quotations, signaling trading intentions. A large-order or block exception meets that concern directly—relieving large orders of the obligation to sweep small protected quotations—while preserving order protection for the retail-sized orders that benefit from it most."

Trust is an asset. So how do you protect it? Great companies can build enormous reserves of trustworthiness, but if that trust isn’t structurally protected, someone will eventually have an incentive to exploit it. That’s where governance matters. Mission guardians, public benefit corporations, and structures that create real accountability can help protect what made the company valuable in the first place. John Miles and I discuss how organizations can build structures designed to protect their mission and trust for the long term. #IncorruptibleBook #Trust #CorporateGovernance #Leadership #BusinessStrategy

In a @FastCompany essay, Founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange @ericries argues that many fears about #AI are ultimately fears about institutions, incentives, and systems optimized for the wrong outcomes. “If we want different outcomes, we cannot just ask what our machines are optimizing for. We have to ask the same question of our organizations.” fastcompany.com/91535425/fea…

In a New York Times DealBook interview, Long-Term Stock Exchange Founder Eric Ries discusses how corporate governance, market structure, and reporting incentives can either strengthen or erode long-term value creation. “We have really good evidence from other countries that when companies switch from semiannual to quarterly reporting, they lose approximately 5 percent of their market cap,” Eric said. “Companies are being run to produce the correct quarterly report instead of for the long-term benefit of anybody, including their shareholders.” Last year, LTSE petitioned the SEC to modernize reporting requirements by allowing companies to report earnings semiannually rather than quarterly. The SEC formally proposed the change earlier this month. Read the full interview: nytimes.com/2026/05/16/busin…

The excerpt explains that Eric founded the Long-Term Stock Exchange in response, to serve as a sanctuary that supports long-term value creation rather than short-term pressure.
