uber stock will got up at least 5$ in a month

Cruise Automation kexjj7h Feb 9, 2020

If you know this why isn't it already up 5$?

Vicom Computer Services wassssup🤺 Feb 9, 2020

its up 15$ past 3 months. uber reported good best earnings. lookout for next 1 month 5$ up. and tesla is big runner tomorrow, 100pts up.

Does this mean you also don’t have the savings to cover 6 months of expenses (plus mortgage)? Then don’t do it.

Why would you conflate 6 months of expenses with a Bay Area downpayment?

Verizon Media Igpay02 Feb 9, 2020

I’m not conflating anything. it’s the financially responsible thing to do. Has nothing to do with “Bay Area” or not.

You were assigned stock at what price?

I also wouldn’t wait to sell them until after finding a house.

What else are you saving for if not a home you love

a house is an investment too

What's the point of keeping the money if you don't purchase what you like that is investment too!

I’d sell uber esp if you don’t have profits. But I wouldn’t buy a house

uber espp will be meager.. i cant speak the $value we all got through espp but mostly people would be making under 15k profit..way under if i was to be accurate..

ESP = especially

How much are you selling? How much is TC? Does it actually make sense financially considering your full financial situation? Go talk to a financial adviser or a friend who is decent at finance. This is a very broad question.

financial advisors are robbers

Financial advisors 😂

Buy at a range that is easy to sell, 1.3M around. If you go higher it would be hard to get rid of later
