Absolutely, but your anecdote doesn’t change the facts.

Owning stock absolutely gives you a defining characteristic, that’s all I was responding to, don’t have anything against folks who own stock or anything but to suggest that it’s far too big a group to have any defining characteristics is a little absurd…

If you took all of the stocks in existence and picked one randomly, there is literally an 87% chance that the owner of that stock is in the top 10% of wealth ownership in the country, USA I mean….

Our family owns some stocks I guess but we are not in the top 10 percent but my anecdote doesn’t change the facts either…
