If the price has gone down, then what was the point? You still pay full taxes on the discount, and take a long term capital loss at a lower rate. Plus, you lost money. Great plan.

I just don’t see any advantage at all in keeping the shares even 1 day more than you have to. There’s no tax benefit at all.
