      While every time I've sold Amazon stock it has been a terrible financial decision in retrospect, I still do it. So much of my future net worth is already tied up in the success of Amazon and the tech sector. I'd rather diversify, even though I also believe Amazon is a good bet.https://twitter.com/MerrittBaer/status/1191801896111136768 …

      1) Doesn't matter if your comp is in cash. Vested RSUs (of public corp) are as if you took cash and went out and bought AMZN or APPL or MSFT shares. BY THAT SAME LOGIC: once shares vest, you don't need to hold them-- unless a concentrated position is your investment strategy 2/n https://twitter.com/MerrittBaer/status/1191800599714684928 …

      “Kids these days” don’t rememberer the dot com bust when stocks for tech cos, incl AMZN fell 90% or more. Took a decade for AMZN to hit the ‘99 peak. That’s a long time to be holding your “salary” in RSUs

      Really it's the employers playing roulette though. RSUs can be very effective for cashflow, and a nice employee incentive for acting more broadly, but if they go down in value a lot people can get paid in cash or other stock somewhere else.

          I guess roulette isn't the best analogy because it's not a game of chance, and whatever game it is, I'm glad we're really good at it!

          Well, if you sell it's the company doing the market hedging. If you hold, it's you
