How to beat Wall Street

Get your friends together and pay off local merchants SBA loans (thereby mitigating those pesky interest rates, the profits for the banks).
-Before you buy something, get on your locally produced smartphone and make sure the mfgr isn't listed on the big board.
-Read labels to be sure the product is completely made in USA.
-Don't buy a new car or house.
-Don't use electricity made by fossil or nuclear fuel.
-Use only tools made in your local blacksmith shop.
-Cancel your IRAs and savings accounts (a large source of capital managed by fund managers).
-Don't use checks or debit/credit cards (again, interest).
-Watch only local TV (most of the networks are owned by large corporations, most notably GE).
-See if you can get your county to move to a barter economy.
