RE:RE:RE:Bought some more hereThe nature of stock options and the consequences of taxation compel the holder of the option to both exercise and sell their position of options on the same day. The reason they exercise the option is so that they can get the cash. Exercising the option, paying tax on the game and then being at risk for market fluctuations it's too much for the option holder to take. I've seen some very ugly scenarios when somebody has exercise their options, paid the tax and then watch their investment implode. In the end they were left holding the bag with a big tax burden
