Yeah... and it affects me in no way. Will any of this "trickle down" to corporate workers? Highly unlikely. It really only effects those who can afford to gamble in the stock market.

Anyone w/ money can 'gamble' in the stock market.

My wife wouldn't say she gambles but her VFORX through work is killing it.

You mean it really only affects the 52% of Americans who hold stocks.

That is a LOT of people!

Stocks at record highs, but only half of all Americans invested - May. 9, 2013

Just 52% of adults say that they or their spouse own any stocks, either individually or through funds. That's according to Gallup, which began tracking this in 1998.
And that 52% is from a news article from May 2013.

So I guess you're part of the other 48%?

Must be difficult admitting that companies are doing well.

Companies are buying back their own stock with capital assets gained from off-shoring tax liabilities and keeping U.S. wages down. Totally legal, totally predictable. The big GOP win in November didn't hurt, either.

I've got a few bucks invested but I take the 18k figure with a grain of salt. These stock figures are written in smoke.
