Stock options

[Slava]

Sorry Stang I might have mispoken there. In any event here is an article that you might find interesting.

Jason Zweig is one of my personal favorites; his website is very interesting and informative. The Intelligent Investor that he revised (originally written by Benjamin Graham) ought to be required reading for people who want to invest in the stock market (in my personal opinion).

Anyway, this article gives some creedence to your thinking, but presents a fairly balanced view of stock splits:

I didn't read this thread, but I used to work for CNRL. I left prior to my 5 years. Prior to leaving, I periodically cashed in options.

If I hadn't left (although that was unavoidable as moving to Fort Mac was not an option) and had I kept every option until they were fully vested, I'd be debt free (including mortgage) and picking out curtains for my new cabin.

So, in hindsight, I wished I would have kept every option until I was forced to cash them in.
