I&#x27;m not arguing, but I would like to point out that you&#x27;ve just fallen into the same trap I was discussing. According to the article the employees had a chance to sell shares at $3 a share, <i>later it came out that an outside firm felt the shares were worth less.</i> The trap is using information from later to beat yourself up about what you didn&#x27;t do then.<p>It is an easy trap to fall into, you&#x27;re in your own future looking back with more information than you had then, and you are seeing how you could have acted differently for a much better result. And then you beat yourself up for not acting differently. But the truth is it isn&#x27;t your fault.<p>But the learning is, be more mindful of choices (and non-choices) and their future financial impact. It is much easier (and desirable) to see the &quot;success&quot; scenario, than it is the &quot;failure&quot; scenario, but if you work it out and sell half when you have the chance, then you reduce future outcomes to &quot;only capturing half the value&quot; and &quot;giving up half the gain&quot;. Both of which are more tolerable than &quot;losing all value&quot;.
