In a world where diversification is irrefutably a good strategy, I don't understand those people who not only bank their earning capacity (ie: jobs) on one company, but their investment portfolios too! Talk about a dangerous strategy...

Oftentimes companies will provide incentives (either matching programs or discount prices for stocks) to participate in these plans. So I usually suggest that people go ahead and participate in these programs - as long as they can periodically liquidate their investments, take the gains, and move the money to something that diversifies their portfolio (and their lives) a little more effectively.

Great post!
