    Because the health of the Market affects general investment in business.  Less investment fewer jobs. This post was edited by officegirl at March 8, 2019 8:06 AM MST

    Well ... according to this story (Jan 4, 2019) ... according to a Gallup poll, 52% of Americans own stock.

    But even those who don't own stock should care about the market.
    If stocks (generally, overall) are making profits for investors, that is a sign that the economy is in good shape.

    52% isn't less than half then is it Walt? Thank you for your reply. Is it an indicator of the intelligence and perspicacity of little donny dingbat or does it have zero to do with dingy?
