Hi Eric, presumably the companies will trade on a limit order book, like other exchanges. This mechanism of price formation allows rapid price movements up or down. What’s to stop the speculators or retail investor hordes from piling into a stock and driving its price up or down? Are there holding period rules?

No, we do not restrict liquidity in any way. We simply believe that companies should be able to engage with "speculators" as you call them differently from long-term investors. Ultimately volatility isn't a problem in itself - it's the effect it has on corporate decision-making that matters.
