When to Sell Your Employee Stock? (2017) (wealthfront.com)

I’ve only ever sold stock options and RSUs ASAP, never regretted it, even tho stock is up 40% compared to when I first started getting these incentives.

The extra cash has helped me (1) buy a house which has appreciated way way more than the stock would have in the past three years (2) substantially reduce risk of my wife stopping working for a few years to raise our children (3) fund our retirement investments better.


Selling right away makes the most sense but I worry about the social aspect of everyone holding and getting rich.
