TCE: Hard lesson learned...

I held everything I had purchased through 2000. Up to that point the stock had doubled and doubled and never gone down. Then the tech bubble burst. From that point on I tended to sell a bit at 52 week highs. I didn't really have much of a choice on the options, since when you leave you have to get rid of it within months. Actually those I think were in the mid 20s as opposed to the ESOP stock which I could be patient with. I did have quite a few options that never made it back in the money but I did alright on the ones that I cashed out. But if only I had sold in 2000 :P Greed...
