Heh. That is funny that you would think of Torn City, and some other games. However, having a stock market would be a nice addition to the game.
1) Marketing: The better the products, the better the odds of folks buying, the better the odds that the stock will increase in value. And, in reaction, whenever the sales slow, the worth of the stock would go down.
2) Distribution: Through sales. Every time you buy an item(Or quantity of an item), you get a certain amount of stock slips to add to your collection, meaning you have more than a possibility to earn your money back in the long haul, if that product does good in that company.
3) Agencies: All of the weapons and armor companies(Ares, Febiani(?), Colt, ect.), the housing company(Give it a name, something luxurious), the casino, food and medicine, and more.
4) Flux in Economy: It would bring about minor fluxes, keeping money pouring into the game, as well as going out, through these stocks, meaning minor increases/decreases in prices according to sales.
It'd be a good idea, but it might be a bit overwhelming at this point. The dynamics of the game would change, but it'd keep people interested(If you own stock in anything worthwhile, or thought to be worthwhile, you'd know it's a fun journey watching your money..Unless you lose).

Stock markets are good, but I'd much prefer to gamble playing blackjack (21).

I wasnt saying that, but a lot of ideas people throw around here are already being used by other games. The thing I like about this game is how you aren't overwhelmed with a lot of BS. Not that a stock market would be BS, but then you have to incorporate companies which would eventually lead AL to being a mirror of other games that have zero character because of all the different things you can do. Keeping it simple is the idea.

Stock market would merely be gambling in another form because I can't see someone investing in anything long-term. And if someone makes money, someone else has to be losing it.
Wonder what would happen if everyone was investing and suddenly the market dropped significantly, say 25%. I'm sure I'd get some conspiracy theories mailed to me.
