Yeah what M1 said. Can you just flip them for realized gains within a reasonable time frame?

90 hold period so that 10% may or may not be worthwhile given where I believe the markets will be going.

Have a limited windows twice a year to opt in, which is why I’m debating it now

U work at IBM lol

Sounds like Cognizant

I found that the 10% discount on buying was offset by insanely high transaction fees when selling. Negates the perceived bargain. Remaining bottom line: do you believe in the company and want to take additional risk putting your eggs in that basket that already controls your livelihood?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.

Hello People,
Looking for advice based on experience. Currently living with in-laws that have come to support us with our first baby. My in-laws and I have had a rocky start to our relationship due to ours being an inter-religion marriage. Many things have been said that I’m neither able to forgive nor forget. I have a very kind husband who understands my sentiments but wants to try to have a cordial relationship with them now for the sake of our baby (and baby’s relationship with grandparents)
