Stocks Up $1T Since October

Any adult in America can buy stock and participate. At Robinhood.com, you can buy fractional shares for as little as $1 and no commission on the trade.

No, I'm not a robinhood user nor do I own stock in robinhood. It's just an example of how it is never been easier for any American to invest in stocks.

You are being downvoted but I think this point is important: increasing stock prices disproportionately benefit the wealthy and widen the gap between rich and poor.

edit: and now I am being downvoted for merely pointing this out.

My 401k is invested in that same stock market, along with the retirement accounts of every other person in the United States. I hope the market continues to rise, especially since my parents will be retiring soon.

Just spitballing here, but I'm thinking the bottom 90% doesn't own much stock due to lack of funds. Not because they don't know how or because transaction fees are too high.
