>Such people know they are taking undue risk but do >so anyway to make a killing in the company they work >for. Happens all the time. This is extremely common in the high-tech sector. Most of these people devote modest amounts of excess cash to their employee stock purchase plan. This, coupled with stock options, can create an unbelievable amount of equity when a high-tech company does well. The 1000 shares of Intel stock at IPO given to some employees would now be worth nearly $5 million. There are thousands and thousands of Microsoft millionaires who have held on to their stock without diversifying. The risk is a matter of difference between retiring a millionaire (Through 401ks and DCAing into other mutual funds) versus retiring a multimillionaire (401k + other mutual funds + lots of Microsoft stock). You have to know when and when not to ignore the 4% rule. -- Rock Fish
