Stock ownership in the United States is spread unevenly across age groups. Older Americans hold most of the shares, while younger investors trade more often and favor different types of stocks. This article pulls together data from Gallup, the Federal Reserve, a Motley Fool survey of 2,000 investors, and several other reports. It looks at how many Americans own stock, who holds the value, and how each generation invests. The figures come from different surveys with different methods. Where numbers differ, the article names the source so readers can compare them.
