Don't remind me again today

Something wild is happening with American wealth distribution right now.



People over 70? They're sitting on 38.9% of all household-owned US stocks. That's not a typo—nearly 40% of equity wealth is concentrated in one age group.

Here's where it gets crazier: that share jumped 10 percentage points just since 2020. Go back to 2008, and it's doubled. We're talking about a seismic shift in who controls market assets.

The numbers are staggering. This demographic now holds $19.9 trillion in equities. For context, that's more wealth than entire sectors of the economy.

Generational wealth concentration isn't just a headline anymore—it's reshaping how capital flows through markets.

People over 70 hold 40% of the stocks... How many generations will it take to turn things around?

Ngl, this is ridiculous. The post-70s generation holds 40% of U.S. stocks and has been rising crazily after 2020. How are we supposed to play this?

ngl this is exactly why our generation will never get on board... People in their 70s are holding 40% of the stocks while we can't even scrape together a down payment. LOL

Damn, taking away 40% of stocks from people over 70? This is basically exploiting our generation.

ngl this data is insane, guys in their 70s have directly locked up nearly 40% of the stocks? No wonder young people are feeling more and more pressure.
