Backend for fantasy stockmarket

Completed Paid on delivery

I am developing a fantasy stock market similar to the Yahoo Buzz Game [url removed, login to view] but based on how many times a word appears in news and not on the search volume. I access news for the words through yahoo news search api and yahoo blog search. What I need is the backend, the scripts that will get the news and calculate the quotations based on that. You will have to be very good in php and also have basic server administration skills and knowledge about how to code and execute scripts to keep the load average low (there will be many requests and it takes a lot resources, I have a server dedicated for this). Please notice that half of the job is already done by me (the scripts I've done work but have some problems), actually it is more like an optimizing job. There will be more php projects if we make a good job on this one, it's a good point if you are available full-time as my deadline is short.
