why dont we all just get together and decide on the best prices for all the stocks that we like?

we could meet at a central place, perhaps called a market, to negotiate. of course, you'd ideally like someone in the middle who is able to facilitate your negotiations

it's very important that these negotiation facilitators have no incentive to do their job, even though the only incentive under capitalism is profit

one could imagine that these facilitators might have some sort of inventory they could keep on hand to more easily facilitate txns
