@TBPInvictus here: Contrary to 40+ years and counting of “trickle down” narrative, the reality is that the gap between the 1% and everyone else (let’s say the bottom 90%) has never been wider. It’s become a chasm, and the charts below tell the story. Here is the wealth share of the bottom 90% and the Top 1%, equalized in 1989: Here is both the share (scale at Left ) and level (scale at right) of total net worth held by the Top 1%.

So let's imagine a hypothetical scenario: You have $50,000 to invest across only three stocks. While this doesn't strictly adhere to The Motley Fool's philosoph y of investing across 25 or more stocks, it's still a worthwhile thought experiment.
