Sell. Diversify. The ONLY reason I can see to hold is if you can get tax benefits from doing so.

  I would at least sell 50% (or some number) and keep the rest. I have seen people sell stock bought from options on the first day you could and then live to regret it when it screamed up later. If you sell a portion and keep a portion you always get something, and maybe you will get more later, but never zero.

    Never zero? You know companies do go bankrupt, right?

      Yes, but the stock doesn't go zero like immediately. You can always put a trigger and get out when it all goes down.

        Not if you're in a blackout window.. eg, 2/3 of the year.

      Pretty rare for publicly traded companies to just drop to 0.

    If you get a typical 4 years grant, on average you already had 2 years of stock market exposure on the price...
