[quote=Anonymous]We do the opposite of what nearly every financial planner says and hold on to the majority of the stock we own from DH's employer. Why? If we sell it, we incur significant capital gains. We try to minimize our fees when investing, and creating a bunch of commissions either through a mutual fund, or by churning individual stocks isn't what we want to do. It is a good, well-managed company, and we think that the long-term trend should be up. Yes, people lose money in companies like Bear Sterns, Enron, etc, but people also become wealthy owning a single company, think like Apple & Walmart. Last, OP didn't say who earned the stock, but in my case, DH did and so he gets a bit more say in how it is handled. That said, we have cashed out when buying a house, and at one point to diversify. We can still retire and send our kids to college if the stock suddenly lost its value. Those things were covered first before taking a risk on an employer's stock.[/quote]
