    I didn’t? I worked for them and the stock was part of my pay package.

      I don’t mean any malice by this, as I understand what a pay package is, but you really should’ve started selling when “microslop” took off as a nickname.

      and if they don’t allow you to sell, you should’ve known you were being lined up as a patsy for the c-suits.

        I should have sold in October when it was trading at $520. But hey, at least I didn’t sell in March-April when it was at $380.

        The thing is, if you sell ~$100k in stocks (that you “bought” for way less than that), that’s a huuuuuge tax bill for the year, so I try not to sell in enormous chunks like that.
