>What percentage of Americans, especially home-owning Americans, have more wealth in the stock market than in their home?

I'd guess about half of those over 50 and under 70. It is all locked in IRA, 401k, and pensions where they can't get at it, but that is where most middle class and upper middle class keep their wealth.

Half of those under 50 are on track to have the majority of their wealth be in a retirement fund by the time they are 50 as well.
