Purchasing stock in your own company?

[blondie]

Just curious how many people actually invest in their own companies where applicable.
I'm thinking about buying in and just wondering how many people actually take advantage of discounts, etc. by adding their own company to their portfolio.

Thanks.

I was just curious as to how many people actually take advantage of the options, it's a nice perk..

If your comany is a good company such as yours then sure, why not. If you work at a company and you see the way it's run, and you don't like some decisions they make then don't buy their stock.

I worked for a company that was poorly run, plus had terrible technology, I stayed away from their stock. Sometimes the workers will have a better outlook then some analysts out there.

at certain places i've done work for, the admin assistants are millionaires due to vested stock options they picked up working over the years

25% of my bonus is automatically allocated to purchasing company stock. It's a nice method for forced savings and pays a great div as well.
