At what price? Certainly not a market price. A contrived price in a private sale is usually going to screw the seller.

  As opposed to holding a bunch of illiquid Monopoly money? I work for a public company. I sell all of my RSUs and diversify when I vest. I wouldn’t use 30% of my cash compensation to buy my company’s stock, why would I hold on to 30% of my compensation in company stop? If you haven’t checked lately, the public markets don’t exactly have the stomach for money losing companies.

    The problem is that when you sell shares denominated in monopoly money (e.g. shares in a private company) you have no idea if you get a fair price. There is no market to provide the signals.

      I would rather take my chances and not hold on to it. I know eventually the stock in the company i work for will go up. But I would much rather be diversified
