What are you invested in?

I generally do quite well. The tiny part I manage myself I usually double each year. With my broader portfolio, selling most of my stock in the Summer of 2007 was a good move. Long term it has gone up a substantial amount.

About half of Americans own stock, for the record. So let's drop the 1% nonsense on that issue.

Nonsense.  Less than 1% own any significant amount.  Your claim is absurd on its face - like saying 'poverty isn't a problem, because I know for a fact that poor people have dollar bills in their pockets'.

Not only this, but most of the peasants who own one month's wages in a 401(k) (on which they are supposed to retire?) are older, and became employed back when jobs at least pretended to offer "retirement plans." What's the average age of Atlas Forum investors?

Torie is 62, Jachind is 41, and I'm 20. Are we missing anyone?

That rich kid, what's his name, Dukie.

Don't forget the smug Swede and bereft Beet.

Just because I have demonstrated that you were wrong about things doesn't make me anymore smug than reality.

Opebo, just because you spout some nonsense you aren't really rebutting anything I said. I get that for someone as privileged as you a 'significant amount' is a lot of money but I'm sure those people care about their investments. Which is what the thread was about.
