Put protection for volatile RSUs

Has anyone done this? Do you think it’s a good strategy to do when your RSUs that haven’t vested hits new highs?

Some employers have trading restrictions that prevent you from shorting or trading options on their stock. Make sure yours doesn't.

Check employee handbook, it is not allowed.

In general buying options is a losing strategy, but if you can’t buy your big mega corps options, maybe you can buy a close competitor or tech index put instead

Well, options trading might be a losing strategy long term. But put protection and covered calls etc are actually great to protect against market downturn
