> Consider investing all your money in the company you work for.
Since that phrase is somewhat ambiguous, let me clarify for anyone who misunderstood it on first reading, like I did. :-)
I'm pretty sure you don't mean "It may be a good idea to invest all your money in the company you work for."
But rather "Consider this very bad thing that may happen if you invest all your money in the company you work for."

- gxs 10y agoI had to reread that sentence a couple of times myself, but I think you captured his intended meaning here.
- infinite8s 10y agoI think he meant 'Reconsider...'
- stouset 10y agoNo, he meant "Think about, for a moment, the scenario..."
- barleymash 10y agoUggh, I wish I had read your comment before I just invested everything into the company I work for. Thanks chollida1.
- chollida1 10y agoYuck!! Yep, I really mangled that sentence. Sorry to everyone who just invested their life savings into the company they work for. I guess I really meant... > Consider the scenario of investing all your money in the company you work for.
