FYI: One of the questions we ask consumers in our monthly Consumer Pulse survey is if they follow the stock market on a regular basis. Since we began running our Pulse survey in 2014, the percentage of respondents that follow the stock market has steadily ticked higher to its current level of 58.6% (as of August). This is generally to be expected given that the stock market has also steadily ticked higher since 2014, but we really don’t know what would happen during a bear market because we haven’t had a bear market in nine years.
Below is a breakdown of interest in the stock market by annual income bracket. They say that the stock market is only for the wealthy, so let’s see what the numbers show.
