    Is there a minimum holding period? Typically you can't just turn around and sell the shares.

    Beyond that, you'd have to sell the shares at least two years after the offer date and one year from the purchase date for it to be a qualifying disposition and get maximum long-term capital gain treatment. Otherwise everything is going to be taxed at your ordinary tax rate.

    Spent a good 2 hours with an analyst that covers a very popular software company on Wednesday night out at a bar ...randomly.

    Learned so much about cyber security and how the cloud truly works and why some companies will never move to a cloud based platform.


    He does what I do....invests in an index fund hat tracks the sp500 and focused on small and medium cap stocks.

    Thought this was a really interesting study. It's worth scrolling through, it's really well presented and obviously aimed at people who don't typically read about personal finance.

    https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...iction_TheSecretFinancialLivesofAmericans.pdf

    Highlights:

    In an era of financial-services innovation, money remains one of the great stressors in our lives. According to a new report from Nonfiction:

    • 41% of Americans who earn over $200,000 a year have cried because they didn’t have enough money.
    • In an age of social media, almost everybody feels status anxiety — the pressure to present to the world a false view of how effortless and carefree their lives are.
    • The result is costly embarrassment. One respondent gave up a job opportunity rather than admit that they needed help with the bus fare to get to the interview.
    • We're desperate for help with knowing if we're being paid fairly. For example, 70% of women feel that they are not paid what they deserve, but have no access to salary evaluation services.
    • We also need help with budgeting and saving.
    The financial-services industry does a dreadful job of addressing these problems, and the problems are getting worse.

    • Millennials are 40% more likely to overdraw their checking accounts if they use mobile payments, according to a new financial literacy report from the TIAA Institute.
    • Mobile payment users were also more likely to make withdrawals from their retirement savings accounts and engage in high-cost borrowing activity.
    • Existing budgeting tools don't help. Millennials who use their mobile devices to track their spending are 25% more likely to overdraw their checking account.
    By the numbers: 5% of Americans with checking accounts rack up more than 50% of all the country's overdraft and bounced-check fees. It's a $35 billion income stream for the banks, even after Dodd-Frank.

    • Needless to say, those 5% of Americans are precisely the people who can least afford to pay dozens of fees per year at an average cost of $35 apiece.

    Hey boys can you give me some “set and forget it” stocks or maybe indexes for a couple hundred- couple thousand dollars? Don’t want to manage daily so hopefully nothing with a real shot at zero in the near future, but also don’t need to be super conservative with this money.
