Here’s the quote from the article I posted from the census bureau:

More than half (50.3 percent) of U.S. households — nearly 57 million — owned stocks and mutual funds in 2005

HOUSEHOLDS ... HOUSEHOLDS

Or do you wants infants and children to be counted as investors????

I’m talking adults. You’re talking households. So what? You’re beating this stupid thing to death and NOT proving your point.

How ‘bout this. The figures may have changed slightly since.

The top ten percent of the U.S. population owns 81.8 percent of the real estate, 81.2 percent of the stock, and 88 percent of the bonds. (Federal Reserve Bank data in Left Business Observer, No. 72, Apr. 3, 1996, p. 5)

Bottom line, Bunny, there are way too many dependant, and not near as many doing well or saving as you’d like to say.
I’m sorry you have nothing better to do than pick at posters and still not prove anything. Done with ya.
