THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
I've always said it should be unlimited. The only thing limiting the number of shares you can purchase does is create inefficiencies
in the market. You wouldn't have issues like the .BW constant mispricings. The market would reflect rality much quicker and accurately. Bond adjustments to TAG would be minimal.
HSX has the trading mechanisms in place to handle it, the market would figure it out real quick.

One million shares? R U nuts? {nm} Feb 10, 08:05
If you could buy a million shares of RALP2.BW would you? {nm} Feb 10, 14:27
Raising the share ceiling favors those already doing very well. Plus... Feb 10, 13:18

What I really don't understand is that HSX wants the data to be as ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. Feb 10, 14:28
For this to happen, I think you’d have to have something like daily trading limits. Feb 10, 15:39
You are missing the point. Your comment shows that you don't understand markets very well. Feb 10, 20:26
What value is there in predicting the 12 week box office of a movie that’s already opened, and has grossed over $100M? Feb 10, 21:01
An "unlimited" market with no genuine financial risk would seem to invite manipulation (but current limits seem stale) {nm} Feb 13, 07:43
BWs are just a bonus so that traders can hold a major hit beyond 4 weeks. The price is not used as a predictive daa. {nm} Feb 11, 09:16
Any "solution" would be to take the H$Billions out of the game, not to generate even more H$Billions. {nm} Feb 11, 09:17
Just take the last three zeros from all accounts with more than a billion dollars! {nm} Feb 11, 09:35
Being a Billionaire is a lot of work to move the needle. I'm opting to just ride the interest rate yield. Feb 12, 18:50
That you want to concentrate into fewer stocks is actually an arguments against raising the limit. Feb 13, 11:41
I'd rather have huge concentrated positons in a few stocks than spend a lifetime chasing nickels in a zillion stocks. Feb 13, 20:44
Personally I disagree with that. That takes away much of the challenge and need to think about what to do. {nm} Feb 14, 11:05
There is merit to that claim, although the stakes of being right/wrong are much higher. Feb 16, 11:10
Bring back the merchandise exchange -- still can't believe we didn't get the hat, mug, pen, etc. {nm} Feb 13, 09:08
