According to a post from the New York Times, a whopping 84 percent of all stocks owned by Americans belong to the wealthiest 10 percent of households. Those include everyone’s stakes in pension plans, 401(k)’s and individual retirement accounts, as well as trust funds, mutual funds and college savings programs like 529 plans (New York Times).
