Economic Indicators Platform

CCP should launch an economic indicators platform where they give information on such metrics as the total level of the money supply, the estimated value of global inventories, the value of the net change in money supply classified according to the different faucets/sinks, the estimated value of the wealth destroyed, and the estimated value of the wealth created. They can offer this on both bars and line charts and give the option to compare different indicators on the same charts. They can charge for this at least 100 million Isk per month easily, and create a skill book called Economic or Financial Analysis to give access to players to the different indicators and sell it for 300 million Isk or more. They can create different packages with different indicators and say charge 100 million for two and 300 million for the five indicators. They would make a great deal with this and the opportunity to create another Isk sink. This would add a lot of value for players specializing in trade/industry. I would gladly pay 300 million to get a sneek peak at the whole EVE economy once in a while, and every month just for possible trading opportunities and the management of my funds. Many will be happy and very few will frown to it, plus its easy to make, I'm sure they already use the data on their own so they just have to code the platform and link the data. I remember CCP talking about this a while ago, wonder what are they waiting for.
