Not talking about touching the little guys. Talking about something like limiting sales or buys to $1M per day to curb the leverage these big corps have on the market.

Limiting buys would stymie hostile takeovers. Actually, yeah, that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Anyone who wins big because they were able to "strike while the iron's hot" is likely taking significant advantage of their position, and all of their profits come at the expense of people left holding the bag.
