Conflicted feelings today. Company stock went down 5-10% and we just got our ESPP shares this morning, but on the other hand, the new offering began today so it’s a 15% discount on this low close price. Not sure whether to be happy or sad lol.

This is a giant red flag in my typical “Buy high, sell low” investment strategy.

Happy. Full stop.

I assume company stock always tanks 5% when espp shares are closed out from people who are happy to take money off the table.

I always feel that the value is made by watching shares grow over 3 to 10 years. If you don’t think the stock can grow 2x in that time, then your money is probably better invested elsewhere.

So the shares are down just before the buy? So now your $2500 will buy 9 shares instead of 8? (Or whatever the math works out to be.) This is a good thing.

Yeah that’s good but I was also looking to sell the ones I just received given that my portfolio has too much company stock with RSUs so that was the dilemma

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
