Look at their portfolio. Lots of cash. Only a few relatively inflation resistant stocks...which are all pretty good. T-bills in the U.S. are getting 5.5%. In Mexico (rated just slightly lower than U.S. t-bills) are getting 11%. You can make a lot of money with relatively little risk.  

 If there is relatively little risk from investing in the stability of the US economy (buying T-bills owning US equities) then why does the everyday man not feel it? That's the point. It's as though it must be at the expense of the ordinary man rather than a mutual gain.
