Dear Steve's Dad,

Tough one. Some things are more important than money. I'd say the safest thing to do is stay out of this one completely--and pray your father-in-law and wife have a chat where the end result is your wife deciding to sell. Don't count on your wife using her proceeds to buy EMC, however. Just consider yourself lucky if she (possibly in consultation with her father) decides to buy it.

Getting involved in this one could result in bad blood between you and your father-in-law and resentment on the part of your wife. Assuming the money used to buy SLB was your wife's, it is really none of your business to intervene. Even though you think you have a better place to park the money (EMC), your wife obviously respects the investment advice of her father, who, I assume, has a lot more investment experience than you [due to his age].

The safest thing to do is keep you nose in your own portfolio.

signed, Dear Abby
