This past Monday, we were on WGBH radio (Boston's NPR!), talking about the Somerville Stock Exchange. Here's the audio. Our part starts around the 1 hour, 22 minute mark.

We finished our final quarterly report. It's available as a free PDF here.

It's 183 pages of Somerville-y goodness. It's got charts and graphs, and a whole slew of stories about what Somervillians are doing to make their town a better place. Enjoy!

And here are the final stock values!

Community: $27.10
Environment: $14.51
Creative: $17.33

And here's a really great article that the Somerville Patch wrote about the Exchange.

Ok, we're working on the final stock prices. Check back tomorrow!

And in the meantime, take a look at this really nice article that the Somerville Beat wrote about the project!

And... that's the closing bell, folks!

We've just posted the final stock values. And soon, we'll put up the final stock reports. Check back soon...

...and thanks to everyone who helped make this project so successful!

PS-- Here's a short article about our closing day in the Boston Globe.

The Somerville News ran a nice story about the Exchange here.

And there's still time to get stock! Just email us at somerville.stock.exchange@gmail.com .

Just 10 more days, everyone. If you want stocks, just get in touch!

And... we're back! We just updated the stock prices a few days early.

And yesterday, Tim was on Unreglar Radio's "Two hotheads: where activism happens" show today, talking about the Somerville Stock Exchange and community involvement. It was a great program-- James and Laura from the Mass Pirate Party talked about online privacy, keeping the internet open, and creative commons. An activist named Garrett talked about fighting the TSA's policy of random searches on the subway; and the hosts talked about drug reform.

Happy new year, everybody!

We're taking a break, so there will be no stock updates til January 15th-- but...

...we did prepare the 3rd quarterly report. It's an 86-page monster, full of stories of community involvement! Good ideas about how to be environmentally-friendly! And creative endeavors! All written by Somerville residents.

Here's the PDF.

Tomorrow, we'll have a table at the Local Is For Lovers event at the Armory. We'll be there from 11am til 5pm.

Stop by to earn "Somerville stocks" by sharing what you're doing the make Somerville a better place, or by making a donation to a local nonprofit. Or to get ideas by seeing what others are doing. Or...just to say hi!

Here's a professional sign we made for the event, out of thumb tacks, yarn and foam core.

And we're back in business after a break! The new stock values are up. Take a look...

We wandered around Somerville this weekend, putting up new flyers about the project.

Here are two of them.

Hi everybody-- We're taking a vacation, and aren't updating stock prices today. Tune back in on November 15th!

J. Marechal wrote a really nice story about the Exchange for Spare Change News. The article is online, but be sure to buy a copy-- the organization benefits homeless folks.

We wrote a short piece about the Exchange for Shareable (which is an amazing website about alternative economies and sharing). Here's the link

Big upset, as Community stocks fall 25%! Read all about in the forums, and also...

...in our second quarterly report-- which has 62 jam-packed pages.

We just got word that we'll have a table at the Spoke festival in Union Square on 9/8. Very excited. Check back soon for details.

Just added links to all of the stock reports we wrote for Somerville Patch. Here's where you can find them.

We are going to have a table at the SomerStreet festival today. Stop by and say hi!

We updated stock values today (Community was the big winner, once again!); and wrote about the reasons stock values changed for Patch.

Susan Johnston wrote a very very nice article about us for the Boston Globe today. Thanks Susan!

We wrote our second blog post ("Somerville Stock report") for Patch. It explains all the reasons that stock "values" changed. Take a look!

Somerville Patch is letting us blog about this project. Twice a month, when we update share values, we'll also write a short article about why the values have changed. Here's the first article.

And... shares go up even further! See the forum pages for more details.

We just got word that we'll have table space at the Union Square Farmers Market on Saturday, July 7th. Very excited to be part of the market!

We're working on some more tabling events. More soon!

We updated the stock values for the first time-- and added information to the forum pages. The forum pages show information about what different community are doing to make Somerville a better place-- as well as some news stories and current events that have impacted life in Somerville.

This is something we'll do twice every month. Check back for updates-- or follow us on Facebook or join our email list by emailing us at somerville.stock.exchange@gmail.com . Thanks!
