Eric, you are a smart guy. I think you should pay attention to the signal.
Multiple people have mentioned a similar thing. I have had a similar experience.
While it may be technically accurate that the “LTSE is open for business”
My expectation and others also seem to have had a similar expectation after reading the announcement was:
We can now purchase shares in companies that are listed on the LTSE. Having tried to get more info on companies listed on the LTSE, we are finding none.
“Open for business” is never defined.
It says
“Today, after months of booting up, I am thrilled to report that the Long-Term Stock Exchange has opened for business with a mission to support companies and investors who share a long-term vision.”
There are a few potential options:
1. oversight , without the realisation that people will assume the LTSE has shares listed on it which can be traded
2. Deliberately designed to lead people to think the LTSE has shares listed on it in order to test. Lean startup and all that.
On a other note long range planning and thinking is difficult, due to discounting and uncertainty. A massive impact can be had if more people could think Though multiple causal generations down.
I don't know why you would assume that a stock exchange being "open for business" meant having a company listed. If you have a company to list, LTSE is now a place you could take it public. Yesterday that wasn't true.
Maybe it's people used to stock exchanges treating companies as the product, instead of as their customers? If so, you seem to be demonstrating the problem LTSE is trying to solve.
