Zigeris tried. The main issues appear to be that A) there are no stock exchange simulators readily available that allow you to supply a different feed than Wall Street (although I'm sure one of your European chaps can find a way around that), B) people use the money they get from corporations to fund non-corporate activities, and C) there's no reliable way to get information about how a company is doing that doesn't take absurd amounts of time. This is still a game, after all.

The only way I can see it working is if all corporations involved put forward a mechanism they have for changing their stock value.

Here's an idea I came up with on the fly, so bear with me if it doesn't make much sense- have a google spreadsheet or some scripted webpage where members report their activities after being online on their corporate characters. For each time they complete a route, it adds x to some "value". For each time they get successfully pirated, it subtracts some y. So forth and so on for each activity the faction does. This would then automatically compute the "worth" of the faction using some algorithm, and feed data to a stock exchange that could be run almost automatically. It would certainly require a third-party site, but I know enough coding to develop a structure for someone more HTML-knowledgeable to write up.

I'm definitely interested in seeing this get started properly, though, and I'm sure a lot of others are too.
