It was striking. |

62% of Americans own stock. Remove blacks and Mexicans and the number is much much higher:

Date: April 5th, 2025 9:34 PM Author: dark den Nobody owns just 5 dollars of stock lol. You can't even set up an account or buy a share with 5 bucks. Most of these people have a substantial portion of their retirement savings in stocks or mutual funds. It might just be 20 or 30 grand, but that is a huge amount of money to lose for people like this. Like someone's entire life savings and they can't afford to lose it.
And that 62 percent doesn't even count union workers with pension funds that invest in equities. |
