    Not 1 little mention on the entire CNN website regarding the tragic story posted in the previous 3 posts. This is a huge reason that CNN commits media malpractice on an hourly basis. They are awful and they are the powerful media arm of the dead broke and corrupt Democratic Party. third person will come in and give us a copy and paste on why none of this is true.

    Liberals: “Trump can’t take credit for the Dow Jones tremendous increase, it was Obama’s economy.”

    Liberals Now: “It’s Trump’s fault.”

    Liberals in the Future as Dow Increases after Correction: “It was Obama all along!”

    The Left has become goofier than ever along with the Leftist media supporting them. Hillary still in the picture telling lie after lie. It is actually a sickness. Drain the swamp! MAGA!

    Lefties can not survive when they can not have it both ways. Major head shaker. They are total losers when they only can have it one way. Deplorable.

    The stock market dropped 666 points on Friday. Was that a harbinger of things to come? I hate 666

     My credit card ends in 666. Crazy.

    You already must know ..just in case you don't..

    As of a few years ago according to Business insider :"Households directly own 38 % of the US equity market," ...."However, the total effective household ownership is closer to 80 % when combined with indirect ownership in the form of mutual funds (20 %), pension funds (16 %), and insurance policy holdings (7 %)."

    Middle class, slim

    WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — There’s something seriously wrong with an economy that nurtures a few billionaires but can’t sustain the middle class.

    Jealous of the rich are ya D1? Here's the news - RICH PEOPLE OWN A LOT OF EVERYTHING.

    People in the slums selling or doing heroin aren't going to own any stocks now are they?

    I just don't recall any complaints about the middle class getting squeezed from all directions for at least the entire century until Trump. Now, after finally getting a tax cut and the economy obviously on the upswing after 8 years of a socialist, you point out the middle class isn't getting anywhere....  Really?

    Since you can't find the answer to my question on MarketWatch and If you would stop eating popcorn all over the place ..I'll tell you. ..

    Here's how the market effects the middle- class and one important reason, that the middle-class and the rest only have 14% share of the stock, for the large part,,, is because they lost faith in the market...

    I have middle-class friends, that were investing like crazy in High Tech stocks ,in the late 1990's  ..when the Tech stocks crashed ..they were badly hurt and left the market....but they regained their convenience by the mid 2000 mainly due to their home's appreciating..so back in the market they go..only to see the bottom fall out in 2008/2009 ....So, that did it for them.. they lost all trust in the market ..they sold their remaining stocks and stayed out of the market ..investing in very low risk CD's and such..had they held onto their stocks they would have been greatly rewarded.

    The middle class needs to once again put trust in the stock market  ..or the middle -class will shrink even more ..and the gap will only widen..

    In 2009 when the market took the big dip ...I called Fidelity Invsetments.. it took over two hours to get an agent,, because so many people were selling off....I told the agent I want to change my risk in the market from 50% stock to 70% stock...the agent said you know you are the only one today who isn't selling..  I replied ....then I must be doing the right thing..

    If,for whatever reason you are not invested in the market there is noway you can keep up with the ones that are .. and that is a fact.
