Ahh, I see. You are looking to extract that money and make it available for other plays. I guess the question you then have to ask yourself is...Is pulling up stakes now the better play, to put that equity someplace else to make you more money now, or keep it in the original investment and hope for a better return. If you absolutely NEED the money now, I guess you have no choice if you have no other source for cash. But if you do not need it now like JG Wentworth, maybe dive into the company's books one more time, and attempt to glean how much more value you can extract from your holdings.
And now you've hit on the reason for my preference - which I mentioned early on in this thread: I suck at fundamentals analysis (or don't trust it, to put it another way.) Unlike Andreessen et al, I'm not interested in a 1:30 bet on unicorns... I'd rather take my little bite out of the market via less arbitrary trades. YOLO bets ain't my style - I'm neither young enough nor rich enough for them.
And for that, you are an asshole. I'm gonna watch AOC dancing videos to get your image out of my head. But I still love you! hehe! -5000 to Ravenclaw
So... you're going to punish yourself on top of getting whacked in the head??? Hmmm. Masochism ain't my jam, but I guess it's valid for some.
Well, it's better than what you posted, visually! Fuck politics, it is just more visually pleasing! Remember, I am trying to cleanse my eyeball palette, my visual cortex, not my prefrontal lobe where I can think about shit. That picture is just nasty dude. K, fine fine fine. You don't like AOC. Here's a neutral scene, no politics, and it comes with sexy music by Pino Donaggio
A couple friends of mine working for different cos in the Bay Area were approached a couple of years ago by the same guy offering to buy their pre IPO shares at premium. Both did because of the premium and, at least one didn't trust the company to make it to IPO. Earlier this year, the doubting one was handed additional shares and he reached out to the guy who'd bought them. This time around, however, he wasn't interested due to adverse market conditions. Thus it seems your opportunity to sell will be greatly dependent on market conditions and probably the company you worked at. GL
Hard to answer without more information. I'd contact the office that sent you the message about the 3:1 split, and see if they have some kind of prospectus. I wouldn't sell just yet though, if what you say is true regarding potential growth and cash-flow positive out of the gate. Especially if they have a niche and it's a high margin business like software or consulting. If you had a prospectus, I'd be glad to take a look and give you my opinion. I'd compare the numbers to a similar company that's already publicly traded and go from there.
