Discovery Stock Market

[Tenacity]

how about just making a new cargo commodity named "***** Stock", with the ***** being the name of a major corporation within the game. DSE Stock, Interspace Stock, ALG Stock, etc. etc.

you would have to carry this cargo with you for long periods of time, making it risky business for actual traders, but it would be easy for the developers/admins to simply raise or lower the price of the stock commodity each week. Each stock commodity would sell/buy for the same amount on every location in the game, so you could cash in regardless of where you're at... but you'd only be able to buy stock at the station headquarters of that corporation.

EDIT:

Though, I can imagine a stock market entrepeneur getting a Barge from the admins, 25k cargo space, buying up 25,000 units of stock at 100 credits each (2.5 million credits spent), and then waiting till they're worth 1000 credits each to sell... 22.5 million credits in pure profit =P Imagine if the credit amounts were even higher...
