On that same line of thought, would you invest in the same company you work for? Regardless of the industry you are in, why would you put all your eggs in one basket? Likewise, a CEO does not have enough pull to "fix" a company alone. They can hire intelligent people to work with them, but to say just because you believe in the company you should hold a large portion of your equity in it doesn't seem like a good idea. IMHO, which doesn't matter for *******, I would sell company stock as soon as it is allowed and diversify outside of my own industry.Originally Posted by Akutan Bandit
No. If I had faith in the company and that a measure of my performance would be an increase in the equity price, I absolutely would not. I have friends who run companies and they live off their salaries, not their equity. If you are adding value to the company, then you can hold your equity until the market (Mr Market) realizes that value with a very high stock price. You wouldn't sell if you had solidarity.
