📈 Texas Stock Exchange breaks the NYSE/Nasdaq listing duopoly

A BlackRock- and Citadel-backed challenger exchange (TXSE) attacks a two-venue listing duopoly that has stopped innovating and has layered non-securities requirements (board-diversity targets, DEI listing rules) plus ~$7.4M going-public costs onto issuers. A cheaper, CEO-friendly third venue pulls listings and pricing power away from the incumbents and forces their listing/compliance economics down.

⚖ Why this verdict

fully deterministic — evaluate.py replays this from daily closes; nothing below is editable or hand-set

  1. Window: 2024-06-07 → 2025-06-07 — first mention + 12-month horizon, then the window locks.
  2. The call: ▼ SHORT NDAQ (primary play). NDAQ rose 47.6% over the window → direction-adjusted R = -47.6% (the call lost money).
  3. Benchmark: holding SPY over the same window returned +13.6%α = -47.6 − (+13.6) = -61.3% — what this call made or lost against just owning the index. This is the number the verdict uses.
    Stock-selection read: -34.0% — did NDAQ move the predicted way relative to the market. The two only differ on a SHORT: this call was right about direction relative to the index but still cost money versus holding it.
  4. Rule fired:
    · HIT — R ≥ +10% AND α ≥ +5
    · PARTIAL — R ≥ +5% OR α ≥ 0
    ▶ MISS — everything else
  5. Credit: supporters of a MISS earn 0 each, opposers the inverse — this feeds the scoreboard weights. supported: Chamath, Friedberg

“I think if you have a third player, there's a chance that more competition will create more rational behavior, which will flow into the companies themselves. So I'm a huge fan of this.”

“it showed the cost of going public on Nasdaq, Amex and the New York Stock Exchange was about $7.4 million. Cost of going public through an over-the-counter bulletin board listing service was about $2 million.”
