Top 1%? How disingenuous can you be, that's made up of the top 0.01% who own 30% of the top 1%'s wealth alone [1]

I agree. I just didn't have the stats to back me up when I wrote that. You are talking about wealth and not stocks, but you make the same point that I'm trying to make, which is that, top x% can be very misleading and clickbaity if you ignore the extreme inequality at the very top and can push the narrative in a direction that's not helpful. Thank you for bringing that up. I'd not be surprised it like 100 people in the country own 20% of all the stocks.
