Older Americans are selling off the stock market, slowly but relentlessly…. to junior generations.  According to CNBC, Baby boomers own an outsized helping of the market and are constantly reducing it--due to RMDs and other factors.  This is a process that is non-stop because 250,000 boomers turn 72 every ninety days.
