Do you believe in owning stock in a company that you work for, so that you have a vested interest in the success of the company ??

Only if it is a well-managed company. One company put much of our "pension" money in an employee stock ownership plan, and I lost almost everything.

Absolutely

If I get it discounted or donated sure. Usually employees are eligible for it via 401K

I invested my entire life-savings in John Olinger's time machine company. I'm gonna be rich. Rich, I tell ya. Rich!

Not necessarily. I've gotten burned.

No the stocks play a lot of games have too many inside traders and such.

If you are serious about your company and your company is serious about you.

You have to ask yourself, why would you work for a company that you wouldn't invest money in?

If you think the investment would be too risky, then what are you doing working there?
