stang, I'm in the same boat but I work for Suncor. I exercised 25% of my currently vested options this week because
a) I think the recent run up in oil and the oilsands sector is a little ahead of itself right now.
b) I have capital losses to offset.
c) I want to diversify. This recent run up has placed the vast majority of my investment value in SU.

I plan to hold onto the rest until they make me exercise.
