"Holding an overweighted position in that company's stock is probably not wise for most non-executive employees." Sorry, I didn't mean to imply holding on to the stock forever, unless the company is a good buy for the general public. But holding on to remaining options with enough cash set aside to purchase them at a more opportune time might be wise. Generally one should offset the investment and tax immediately, which also means probably not at the best prices. Holding on to what is left over until a better price is reached is generally better. Additionally, if there are potential short term problems, buying the optioned stock and selling right away with the intent to buy back in when it appears the stock has bottomed out could be a good idea. Investing is generally safer with a company you know a lot about. For most people, this would mean the company they work for, or at least a local company. Just don't put all investments in these companies.
