    .000000001% of a $100 billion company is $1. The average person could own per year $5000 if they used automatic deposits and got the employer match.

    I know you are trying to exaggerate to make a point, but don’t discourage people from getting the employer match if they can.

      I employee matched for years just to watch our CEO tank our stock to 1/5 the original price.

      Point being, remember it’s still an investment in a single stock and comes with that amount of risk.
