Empty advice. Risk is an element no matter where you invest. I expected to read more about risk management or factors to consider, etc. Instead, you're left holding thin air.

Regarding holding employee stock, I consider it as part of an investment strategy that's based on market conditions and personal profile.. much like any other stock.

I surely wouldn't sell for the sake of risk. The premise sounds naive and confusing.

Thanks for the feedback! I do agree that holding employee stock could be part of an investment strategy. This post is geared towards the surprising number of people who hold employee stock as a result of a stock grant and without serious thought on whether they want to invest in their company.

What part of the risk premise is confusing?
