As a very informed investor, I am suprised to see that you have not divested this stock already. It is EXTREMELY dangerous to have more than 10% of your portfolio in any one stock. Ideally, research shows that one should not have more than 5% in any one stock, Please divest out of this ASAP to at least 10% or less of the portfolio!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worldcom anybody?????????????

I wouldn't hold company stock.

Think about it this way. Your third biggest asset is your labor. Take your salary and think about what somebody would pay to get access to it for the rest of your life. (Simply assume a PE ratio that is the same as your company's stock). That's the monetary value of your labor. Now if your company does well, they may have to hire more

I've no company stock currently... the only time I was ever given any, the company went bust in the dotcom days... Needless to say that's a warning.

People who would never put even 10% of their wealth in one listed stock happily ignore it when they do the same with their options and so forth, but it often comes back to bite them. Good luck with the divestment plan!
