Not much discussion here in the group but you may be reading about it or watching video clips. Tell us about it.

Here's another Peak moment video which has some great ideas on how to make local investing easy.

certainly a useful idea, though not too sure about innovative; the Green Party have been advocating this for years!

Peak Moment 44: Michael Shuman advocates "Going Local," showing how local businesses are beating global competition and helping to create self-reliant communities. One innovative idea: invest locally by moving a portion of pension funds into regional stock exchanges.

If I understand it correctly bartering is ok by IRD unless it is your profession, eg a painter must declare a painting job barter but not a vege barter. Will they care about Roooobys not unless we make an impact.

You can bring your lemons and persimons to the ooooby stall and get roooobys for them, The persimons sound great.

And eggs, but I need instructions of how to do it, and by the way, how it works with Inland Revenue.

I believe that Inland Revenue will try to hammer us, so we need to prove that we are not doing this to avoid paying taxes, what I am more than happy to pay.

What we have to ensure is that Inland Revenue protect local economies, and their duty is to protect local currencies.
