      That’s probably how most of the 50% have any stock.

      It should. If a 401k is used to purchase common stocks, there’s no reason for the market to differentiate that it’s held by a retirement plan (at least to the best of my knowledge). Even 401k target-date funds are just mutual funds or ETFs, comprised of common stocks. I’d wager a large portion of the 7% not held by the Do Nothing class is from 401Ks and IRAs.

      Don’t think it does, roughly half the population still has some retirement savings according to this https://usafacts.org/data-projects/retirement-savings
