What’s the best way to handle company stock without getting killed by taxes?
Company stock, especially if it was awarded as part of a long term incentive package, can be a terrific way to build wealth. But it can be a double-edged sword, too. Over-concentration in a single stock probably represents one of the biggest mistakes we have seen retirees make. And when the stock is from the company where they built their career, they may have a strong emotional attachment that can cloud judgement.
