Last reply was two weeks old so I guess its not too late to reply here. Chrono, I think you can implement stock exchange system (instead of future market, but that allows people more than just tracking share movement) relatively easy . All the tools are already in the game. We have a item market, we have shares and there is a dividend system. If shares can be added to market , we already have buy/sell , buy order/sell order features there. Broker fee is there, tax is there, maybe last dividend amount can be shown in a column . This can be added into current market or can be reached from wallet as a separate window. If you keep it simple and treat shares as other market items Eve can have a in game stock exchange in the future.

 Originally by: EBANK Ricdic
Why would you want CCP to design such an exchange. Only 1 out of 20 corporations would be legit. It would just be another way for scammers to scam.
This would benefit you more than it benefits me at the moment. Lets look at the possibilities together. You are founder of EBANK. This bank is trying to create its own stock exchange system. You will use websites and brokers for it. If it gets busy it will become time consuming and complicated.
Instead lets imagine a todays market like system is implemented. But shares can only be placed player outposts for sale, and only if outpost owner allows it. In this case there are couple possibilities. Your bank or any other bank in this matter can run their own stock exchange. It is giving you an automated tool which is already in game (just not open to shares). Since owning an outpost is not easy it also limits the possibility of every corporation setting up their own exchange. You still can select the shares can be bought and sold at your outpost.
Second dimension it adds is traders traveling and docking to your outpost. Which integrates banks activities more with game. At this moment financial side of the game is more run on web sites and forum and it requires minimal contact in Eve. Following this path, if players want to watch market live instead of using your brokers, need to travel your HQ (outpost) or they can train trading skills and stay somewhere in the region. Perhaps they will see and chat with other investors if they choose to dock your outpost. It will create more interaction in game. This can even go further when walking in stations is brought to Eve.
Third dimension it adds is now corporations in alliances will be able to put their own shares for sale at their dedicated alliance outpost. Assuming alliance didn't randomly admit corporations this has few chance turning into a scam. I believe it can add flavor to alliance and corporate management though.
I am aware that if you are not already owning and defending null space , this will add an extra difficulty to normal banking activities. On the other hand moving financial markets more in game offers more possibilities to residents and corporations of Eve. I am supporter of creating content and posting it on websites and sharing ideas on forums, but if Eve financial markets would start depending on websites that would mean people who can afford to invest more into website programing can outperform other corporations/banks in game. Since Eve promotes in game effort instead of usage of outside resources available to us , tools provided in game by CCP has a value to all residents.
Please take these as my contribution to subject and not argument. As a priest I would say "What is good for Eve is good for the Temple" at the end.
May Blessings Be With You
