Generally, if your company gives you matching on stock purchases, they can be a good deal. As an employee you should have a pretty good idea (if you are realistic) of how the company is doing. If it is struggling you may not want to participate otherwise if you lose your job, you can lose your savings also in one fell swoop. If you get no company matching on purchases, you can (and should look for) find other investments that will be better. It is wise to not have all of your eggs in one basket. In either case, I would not put all of your money into your own (or any other) company. Several analysts recommend no more than 20% invested in where you work. You already have enough (your career) invested there.

reminds me of enron somehow
