Amerigo

Just now an idea just struck me. I know a lot of people attempted NS stock markets, but things usually got too complicated and the creator usually just got tired of updating things and they died out. Actually, if I'm wrong and there is a thread/seperate forum or whatever that is still dedicated to a stock market sort of feel, please inform me, cause I haven't been keeping up with goings on on NS in recent times (the size its gotten... who really can?).
So my idea is to use last.fm charts for stocks. Ok. That makes little sense to you now, but let me explain. I listen to music very frequently and I use a great site called last.fm which allows me to stream music based on my musical tastes. It also composes weekly and total charts based on how much I listen to a song/band/album. (here's my page) (http://www.last.fm/user/caedes/) So according to my idea. We use these charts as the basis for Amerigo's domestic stocks. I'll post reports of recent albums I've bought and you make speculations how much I listen to it. The more I lsiten to a band (a.k.a. stock), the better the band/stock is doing. I haven't particularly figured out a system for it, but it won't be too complicated. The best thing is, I won't ever get tired of it because I dont have to manually compile long charts of stocks or make programs for it or anything.
So in essence your country will invest money in a certain stock and it will obviously be assumed that you don't buy enough shares (my government limits how many shares you can buy) to impact the general trend of the stock.
So would anyone be interested in this?
