go to management sure

Post #351,254 by boxley 11/25/11 2:51:01 PM Reply	go to management sure when I had investments in the market I never got a dime of profit as a shareholder, so what shares do you own that are receiving too much profit that I can tax?

Post #351,278 by drook 11/25/11 11:59:01 PM Reply	Wrong http://www2.ucsc.edu...power/wealth.html In terms of types of financial wealth, the top one percent of households have 38.3% of all privately held stock, 60.6% of financial securities, and 62.4% of business equity. The top 10% have 80% to 90% of stocks, bonds, trust funds, and business equity, and over 75% of non-home real estate. When you say, "by and large shareholders are us," are you blind, stupid or mendacious? I like you, man, but that's a fucking whopper by any standard. -- Drew

State and municipal folks invest heavily. Look at the Alaska perm fund, 40% is in the market.

Post #351,315 by drook 11/26/11 8:35:20 PM Reply	You mean 401k? Read the quote again: The top 10% have 80% to 90% of stocks, bonds, trust funds, and business equity, and over 75% of non-home real estate. There may be 50 times more people who have some money in stocks, but of the total dollar value of the stocks, it's mostly held by the rich. People with money on 401s don't drive investment activity. -- Drew
