I met a banker at a BD party yesterday. He said that recently there was a lot selling by people who had accumulated large capital gains.
Many conservative investors, including doctors and other professionals, who normally buy and hold, have been advised to sell now to minimize all their future capital gains taxes.
Company insiders may have also sold all or a portion of their options.
Whatever he said, makes a lot of sense. Many retail investors who understand taxes have easily figured it out without any special advice. Even if the gains are less than $250K, don't let them to accumulate. Sell now.
