This is a fascinating video that discusses the stock market vs. the local market.  

TOPICS:

  • Incisive (and humorous) history of the stock market
  • Legal loopholes in the current SEC regulations
    • Kickstarter
    • Kiva
    • IndieGoGo
    • Co-ops
    • advance purchases
  • How to do a direct public offering
  • Alternatives to CD's
  • State of legislation for a true local stock exchange

Here it is ... set to start at the 'local offering' portion of the talk.
