The best example to give for this is probably X3 Albion Prelude which includes stock markets as far as I know. Given how the universe of X3 is built up though and how everything works, it's probably fair to say that it is impossible to implement an idea like that into Freelancer.
It would require NPC's supplying NPC bases with goods to keep them alive and running to produce another product that would be on its way somewhere else etc. Everything would have to be bound like that with every single station in the game as well as NPCs (which is impossible given that they are not a hard component of "economy" at all. They are there and that's it, don't really serve much of a purpose and despawn once they docked with gates, stations or even get out of range of player ships.
Stock marketing requires all of those factors to work together, like in X3. If it doesn't, a stock market is impossible to do.
in facts, the stock marketing require an active play of all. Just a reason in plus for play with the corporation: a "economic race"
