Individual stocks are fine, but you need to have your money spread out in at least 20 of them.

You definitely don't want to end up like the Enron employees whose entire nest eggs were in company stock.

Intermix Media, Inc. Issues Statement on Action of Office of New York State Attorney General

Intermix does not promote or condone spyware, and remains
committed to putting this legacy issue behind it as soon as
practicable. We expect to continue our discussions with the
New York Attorney General's Office and are still hopeful of
reaching an appropriate and amicable resolution. Many of the
practices being challenged were instituted under prior leadership,
and Intermix has been voluntarily and proactively improving these
applications and related consumer disclosure and functionality for
some time. In an abundance of caution, we voluntarily ceased
distribution of the applications at issue earlier this month.
While the applications and technology at issue in this case, and
related standards of business conduct, are continually evolving,
Intermix has always been committed to protecting consumer privacy.
Neither the Company's toolbar nor redirect application has been
used to collect personal information or "spy" on the Internet or
other activities of the user. Intermix values its reputation in
the industry and its relationships with its customers and users,
and remains committed to instituting and promoting best practices
on the Internet.
