Why one stock is riskier than it feels

  • Your pay and your shares move together. If the company has a bad year, your bonus, your job and your RSUs can all be hit at once.
  • Even strong companies can take years to recover. Microsoft took about 17 years to get back above its 1999 high. See how its stock has behaved.
  • Diversifying doesn't promise more money. It limits how much one stock can hurt you.
