WSJ article:
msn.com - The renewed bid to end quarterly earnings reports
Public companies in the U.S. have dutifully shared financial results with investors every three months for the past 50-plus years. A new proposal hopes to change that.

The Long-Term Stock Exchange plans to petition the Securities and Exchange Commission to eliminate the quarterly earnings report requirement and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year, the group told The Wall Street Journal.

It says the idea would save companies millions of dollars and allow executives to focus on long-term goals instead of worrying about hitting quarterly targets or prepping for earnings calls.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and legendary investor Warren Buffett co-authored a Journal op-ed that advocated moving away from reporting quarterly earnings estimates. The pair argued that companies hold back on spending and hiring to meet quarterly earnings forecasts.

Would such a proposal cause a CEO to innovate and invest in physical capital? Would stock buy backs be affected? Any impact upon stock speculation based on earnings?
