Good grief! There's nothing wrong at all with trusting, especially the company you work for. It's like being patriotic.

Even if you trust the company you work for 100% - and I definitely feel that way about the company I work for - you still realize that your company's CEO cannot predict the future and that companies can be brought down by external forces over which they have little control.

Therefore, I am happy to have the matching stock that my company gives me, but those are the only shares of my company I own and I have the rest of my finances diversified.

I probably should sell some of my vested stock from a purely logical investing perspective, but sentiment dissuades me.

In any case, I know that if anything goes wrong with those shares, while it would be painful it still wouldn't submarine my retirement.
