The expectations (quarter to quarter) are insane.


Yeah but I'd think semi annual would have more volatility? Let's say a stock is going to go up or down 10% in a year, so 2.5% a quarter would mean 5% semi annually given all parameters are the same. Historically all quarters are not the same.

At the same time, I'd think this may help long term mutual fund/ ETF investors while hurting the short term day traders right?

Idk. I'd say the semi annual reporting would allow for a smoother overall year. A good or bad quarter won't stick out as much and you're given a chance to right the ship.
