The short-term solution is to limit banks from investing more than the employee-held market capitalization in securities and derivatives, and to lower the capital gains tax to offset the temporary selling pressure over the 5-10 years it would take to mandate such a standard.

I have absolutely no idea what any of that means or the implications if applied, but does that have anything to do with stock markets, speculators, and big corporations and their top leaders.
