I was reading comments on an article at BusinessWeek about Sun and Jonathan Schwartz, when I came across this gem:
Aside from anything useful I might have to offer Sun... I would like to poke this guy in the eyeball. Why would you ever tie up the entirety of something as important as your son's college fund in a single stock? That's stupid. As if diversification weren't a well-known concept already, I would have thought that maybe people would have learned from Enron. Perhaps this is a dedicated employee trusting in and investing in the company he works for. The really naive, since a tank in the company (which happens) means not only is your job but also your source of investment in jeopardy. (That's what happened at Enron) Or, maybe it's just a fanboi... not sure.
But please, PLEASE, don't blame Sun or Jonathan Schwartz if your kids can't go to college. I recommend talking to a investment broker or something.
Dude.
Dude, my son's college funds are tied up in your stock. He keeps getting older but the stock is still hanging. I have two years for that stock to rocket.
