yes but in what money.  higher return than just indexing ... and at what level of risk with assets tied up in a single company.

Not that much money, typically a few hundred dollars per event. At the time, I had a significant asset portion in MSFT - which I am now winding down to sane levels.

I'm a small player compared to OP. Had $25,000 in my employer's stock (in a 401(k) with $90 total, which is about 1/7 of my total investments).

Dropped it down to $10,000. The rest is split between index funds.
