I read other questions about this, but this article has shown some data from 1997 - 2012. So bringing up again. Summary The data is clear: You should sell your company stock as quickly as you can. But odds are emotions will take over and you won’t. So to help get over your cognitive dissonance, try our suggestion of selling as much as you can upfront, then the remainder over as short a period as possible, perhaps one year. As we’ve shown in this post it’s not optimal, but it should help address some of the emotional tensions that come with owning — and selling! — company stock. I think this theory may hold true if you consider 1997 - 2012. But not sure that would have made sense if you look at last 5 years rally, everything has been on fire and holding would have made a lot of profits. What do you think? https://blog.wealthfront.com/sell-employee-stock/ #rsu #stock #thistimeitsdifferent

Don't let people tell you how to play the game because they made a chart that says use my product.
They don't tell it upfront here but I guess yes, that may be there hidden agenda.
If I sold all my ESPP I got in 2008 when I needed it most I’d have $6k instead of almost $200k.
That was a good run.
Hoping to sell soon. It did spontaneously lose over half its value under two years ago.
At one company in 2016 I had $650k of stock at $67 and sold as soon as it vested. Stock is now at $190. Next up was WF with stock vesting at $130/$170/$150. I held that. :(
I know how it feels
Immediately sell then re-invest in index
Sell if you wont use your own money to buy them
