Create a Local Stock Market

Submitted by Chris Hardie in Business

Why do we send our savings accounts, retirement funds, pension funds, and other investments off to other communities? Let’s invest SOME of that in the success of the local community.

Local banks like First Bank Richmond already have some investment programs that guarantee you're investing your funds in the success of local businesses. We could create other kinds of "stocks" that allow us to put our money where our mouths are.
