Optum espp cut

They got hammered this 6 months, buy price of 207 current market value 281. So they cut the benefit from 10 per of comp and 15 percent discount at lowest price in 6 months, to the 10 and 10 with price at end of 6 months. So basically better to buy other stock that goes up the entire 6 months and pays dividends vs opting into this benefit. Need to go negotiate more money now.

10% guaranteed gain in 6 months is still pretty good. Nothing is guaranteed to go up.

Invest the same money monthly and save the headache. Better returns on markets than 10% in 6 months and you gotta wait the whole time to get it out.

What market has guaranteed 10% in 6 months? (Sp500 this year is over 10%, but that's definitely not the norm)
