They make all the money. Some place I read like 5% of the stocks make 90% or more of the entire corporate profits in America.

All you need in your 20s is to plug into the engines of capitalism. The fastest growers go up and split and go up and split. Many split on average about 7 times. Hitch that wagon for 30 years.
