Today we will be covering...
Today, we will examine the trends in the US distribution of net worth.
The US Government shutdown is on.
But the stock market is strongly up, ignoring fear-mongering. Maybe pension fund inflows on the 1st day of the month helped some.
Remember what I said a couple of days ago: “That (shutdown) is not necessarily bearish for the market. Actually, in most instances, I remember the stock market rallied.”
Today, the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 lead. In contrast, small-cap stocks and the Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed.
The rally was primarily driven by mega-cap and large-cap equities; however, underlying market breadth showed meaningful improvement by the close.
Adv/Dec Ratios:
NYSE | 1.47:1 |
NASDAQ | 1.37:1 |
AMEX | 1.35:1 |
Trends in the US Distribution of Net Worth
Wealth inequality in America is at jaw-dropping levels.
The average person in the top 0.1% controls fifty thousand times more wealth than someone in the bottom 50%.
A tiny sliver of the population is accumulating almost everything—leaving millions behind.
This is not just a data point. It is a warning sign flashing red for the entire economy.
What happens if this gap keeps widening? And what are the actionable steps to reverse it?

The bottom 50th percentile, in net worth, of the US population is “All In” in the stock market.
Although it is only 1% of the total US stock market capitalization, it is a significant portion of their net worth, on average.
