In our libertarian utopia every employee at every company would receive a complex set of financial derivatives to incentivize them to manipulate the stock in exactly the way we want. Will Bob from Accounts push out recognising some revenue from this Quarter so that we miss projections and he can profit off some short dated Puts? No, because we had our HR team string together a series of quarterly short strangles to incentivize him to stabilize our share price.
