Are most people investing their money in stocks?

Most people invest in mutual funds. The reason is that, 1) they may have been burned in the market by a bad adviser; 2) they thought they could day trade and realized they couldn't; or, 3) they don't have the time or desire to learn how to invest properly and they have never found an adviser they felt they could trust (or the adviser doesn't know how to invest).

The problem with most investors is their perspective. Everyone says they have a long-term perspective on investing, but then they freak out when their stocks move up or down 1% in a day.

The greatest "stock" investors that you will never hear about are the silent millionaires that don't buy stocks. Huh? Yes, they invest in the markets, but they buy pieces of quality businesses and they don't worry how Merrill Lynch or Bob's Hedge Fund view the stock in the short-term. Their perspective on stock investing is totally different than most people - and that is why they do so well in the markets.

NO, only a few people invest in stocks! Most people are afraid of losing their money, or they don't know how to invest!

Yes, in some form or another most people's money is invested in stock. Sometime through mutual funds or individual stocks.

the younger you are the more you should invest in stocks. Stocks are risky so you have time to ride out the volitility. I think everyone should have at least some money in stocks either domestic or international.

It's getting pretty close to " most people"...Millions and millions of Americans have invested in IRA's and invested in 401k plans at work....most of that money is invested in the " stock market"
Some people manage their own investments ( either in IRA's 401's or investment accounts) but the majority of people are invested in " mutual funds"..they are run by an investment company that buys stock in different companies ....the companies are grouped by size,( large-cap, mid-cap, small,etc) or by business ( tech, banking, real estate, energy, etc) or by country or area ( U.S., Europe, China,Latin America) or by the way the fund ( the group of companies) tries to make money: ( growth, value,blend)
But, yes, they are all in "stocks" one way, one place, or one style or another.

No.

Most people don't invest their money.

this is the classic difference between rich and poor.

The masses, also know as the poor, buy liabilities with their money

the few, also know as the rich, buy assets (stocks) with their money along with real estate,etc.
