> Flock isn't publicly traded. How could I own stock in it?

Not all stock is publicly traded. I own stock that you can't buy on the exchange. It's quite common actually.

15.4% of families have private equity. Not unheard of but not what I would call quite common https://www.sec.gov/files/exploring-accredited-investors-jun...

		I searched that PDF for family/families and found nothing, but I did find that you are actually even more correct. Most of that report is about accredited investors. Less than 5% of non-accredited investors own private securities. So, it's actually quite rare. That said, to answer your question, you could own Flock stock. Private companies often offer stock to employees and others.
