Should FTC limit how much of a single stock an entity like Berkshire can sell in a specific timeframe? (self.stocks)

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.

I’ll look up HFTs. U got more context?

High frequency trading. It's trading measured in milliseconds (or less, nanoseconds now matter) where they are just skimming off everyone else.

It's not accessible to anyone else except a extremely well financed and entrenched few.
