Description:  This bounty adds stocks for Non-Manufacturing engineering firms, parts suppliers, and material suppliers. It also creates a global and regional automotive stock indexes. Finally it also creates a few market level indexes.

This should broaden the stock market system in the game. Pension systems will invest directly into these indexes. And these systems could provide greater vertical integration for companies as we expand into component manufacturing and so forth.


Requirements: #103,#14, #21, Parts Suppliers (TBA), Material Suppliers (TBA)

Required By: None

Concerns: Stocks are not the core focus of the game. Without proper systems in place, it is ripe with exploitation. Adding too many companies to the game will bog down the game. More so if we're adding a bunch of publicly traded companies with financial data.

Eric's Opinion: I'm not sure if the system could handle it. It might also lead to many exploits and information overload in the UI.
