Why does it have to be all or nothing? Based on your numbers above, sounds like you have about $105-$110K in the 401K? That's a lot of money to be playing around with, even at 29. If you feel strongly about the company, why not move $15-20K into it and still maintain some diversification? That way, if you are right, you'll still benefit handsomely, but if you are wrong, you won't lose it all. Full disclosure, its a much larger percentage then I would put into one stock, but if you were looking to put 100% in, I don't think my typical 3-5% allocation will be what you wanted to hear.
If you move 100% in and the company goes under, you are left with no 401K and no job
