A computer application that runs in the background or in a small window, and makes Casino noises that follow your stockmarket portfolio's progress. As your stocks go down, you hear the sound of coins going into a slot machine, and failed lever pulls. As they go up, you hear coins drop into the loud bowl.
If they go up significantly, you hear jackpot alarms.
A small window would show a change bucket that indicated how much money was left in your accounts, and maybe an animated slot machine.

I have no stock portfolio. Can I borrow some money to play in your casino stockmarket? I want to invest in Atari. "ding","ding","ding. |

Usually there will be an empty bucket with a hole punched in the bottom of it with Harvey Pitt, and your ex-mother-in-law with wide eyes and C-Notes clenched in their teeth as your portfolio tanks. |

I originally read this as 'Casino Sounds for Supermarkets'. I imagined playing the cashier double or nothing for my groceries. |

This idea is good too, but surely there are already programs which play sounds (maybe not casino sounds) to indicate the progress of a portfolio? It seems pretty obvious. [Later] Well, I can't find anything. Perhaps [DrCurry] might know of something. |

I think this should be played over loudspeakers at the stock exchanges and bourses across the world - just to wind up the poor traders even more. |

Obviously some new use of the word 'poor' I haven't come across. |

I love the idea, I am sad to say though, after the last quarter's reporting, I now not only have nothing in my change bucket but there's an IOU written to my company's 401k from me for a mere $200,000. |
