I'm sorry to hear about the company stock. I think that's one reason why I was afraid to stay in my company stock for too long. I also didn't want to have all my money in the same place that paid me a salary. Too many eggs in one basket, so to speak. Your story is a great example of why people diversify. I learned the diversification lesson when I first started investing. I had most of my money in one stock and it went all the way to zero. I also learned that you have to cut your losses at some point, although I didn't in that case and watched my money disappear. Brian,

I'm almost at 4 years and still haven't hit the 50k mark! Though when I started I wasn't putting in close to the federal max and am now so perhaps I still have a shot at it.

I had all my money in company stock (Cendant) that dropped from $44 to $6 overnight when there was an accounting scandal (it was the biggest one before Enron). I lost about $120K that night. I learned a lesson though, and was only 30 at the time. Never make that mistake again. Congrats on the accomplishment.
