Does the stock market serve any other purpose than counting your bucks?

This is from one of the devs, Evan : "The plan is, in the full game, that the stock market feel like a list of rival companies.
The main thing we want is for the CEOs of rival companies to challenge and insult you. So for instance, when your stock surpasses the stock of Apple, the CEO of Apple might challenge you to a duel to the death.
And once your stock surpasses the stock of another company you have the option to “hostile takeover” their company. And once or twice you might need to defend against a hostile takeover.
Right now it is just a list obviously, but we want the list to be more interactive, and we want getting to the top of the list to be a battle."
