re: Corporate reporting - move from quarterly to semiannual reporting?

There are good and bad things to this. His tweet is correct, quarterly reporting disincentives investment. On the downside, you lose some transparency of the process.

Having worked at a mega large company that consistently missed its numbers, I say move to half a year. They would do insane shite to make their EPS numbers which would hurt long term growth. For instance, I got laid off (along with thousands of others) so they could dump a bunch of cost in one particularly bad quarter. They then rehired my position, then they laid that person off a year later. It was fricking insanity if you ask me. What is crazy is they would rehire me in a snap, and they would probably pay more than they did.

eta: I ended up starting my own business after getting laid off and its been fricking awesome. I work less, get paid more, travel less. although obamacare fricking blows chunks.
