The election is over. You can stop peddling bs.

Thus far in 2020, Gallup finds 55% of Americans reporting that they own stock, based on polls conducted in March and April. This is identical to the average 55% recorded in 2019 and similar to the average of 54% Gallup has measured since 2010.

It is probably much higher as well. Many people probably do not know that their retirement plans are invested in the stock market

55% of Americans may report that they own stock, but the top 10% own 88% of all stocks

what's your point? owning .0001% of something is still owning something

What kind of an argument is that? Just because somebody owns more stocks than you do doesn't make their price development less relevant to you.
