The majority of the people unfortunately are not smart enough to know mutual funds are stocks.

Exactly.
How many of the $0 stock “people” have retirement funds, pensions, 401k’s.

Are you equating buying stocks to playing the lottery?

I’m surprised that 48% DO own stocks. My guess would have been about 20-25% I would think that very few people with a household income of less than $50,000 - a very large chunk of the public - would invest in stocks, because they have little if any disposable income.

The money the stockholders make, now, has to come from somewhere. It sure as hell isn't being generated by the production of goods or services at a profit.
Stock 'value' is increasing because the Fed is pumping out worthless paper 'dollars' that will continue to artificially inflate the market until Obama is out of office, when it will be someone else's problem...

They might be better off ... if they have put their money instead into tangible assets.

I’m betting the bulk of stockholders have them in the form of retirement funds.

Over 50 percent don’t pay taxes. Over 50 percent are below average intelligence. Over half of the country are idiots. Unfortunately those of us that have been saving since 18 in my case are going to have to support these idiots because I don’t see the united States letting these folks fall on their swords even though I wish they would.

Oh gosh....and had she left it in there she would have a ton more money today. Whatever losses we suffered in 2008 have more than replaced those and then some. I am much wealthier today then I was in 2008 and that is because of the money I am making in the stock market.

They pulled back from that once they saw the Stock Market stronger.
