The Pitfalls of Investing Retirement Funds in Your Employers' Stock
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required [Opinion] Feb. 26, 2012
[O]nly about 40% of 401(k) plans offer the company's stock as an option. But employees in those plans are still investing between 16% and 19% of their plan portfolios, on average, in their employer's stock. At the same time, they have been shrinking their overall equity exposure dramatically. One dollar in your employer for every two dollars spread across all the other companies out there? It makes no sense.
