Amazing. For one of the few times ever, I agree with Trump about something. That said, I am of slightly mixed feelings on this. Why?

1. On the downside, this could be seen as reducing transparency and possibly enabling corruption and other nefarious behavior. Given what we know about Trump, I'd assume this is his motivation for pushing this item, but...

2. On the flipside, moving away from such a quarterly focus on things could help companies shift to taking more of a long-term view, and could reduce the frequency of knee jerk reactions designed to boost quarterly earnings.

I'd say (2) slightly outweighs (1) in my mind, so I generally think this would be a good move - on balance - if it happens.
