- Summary:
- Fifty-four percent of American households have a stake in the stock market. Most Americans did well in the stock market boom of the mid to late '90s, and some of them got rich. How do they view investing today? CBS MarketWatch senior reporter Steve Gelsi found out: "Even though there were losses, the individual investor still has a lot of clout on Wall Street." Scanning chat rooms and message boards, meeting with investment clubs across the nation, and canvassing the country for individual success stories, Gelsi gives us a grass-roots look at American investing today. "The wisdom is out there, and it's not necessarily resting with the pundits on Wall Sheet."
