Correction: Only 1% of the U.S People Own Physical GoldI originally stated 10%, but it is actually closer to 1%. Compare this to how many people own any stock or how many people couldn't scratch together $400 if their life depended on it. I will leave it to you to google the rest if you don't believe me. I have heard that only 10% of the population own 85% of the stocks. You only know what you're led to believe....
