    Anyone else find stock options bittersweet?

          Had some once and they tanked. Company was taken private.

          Owned a ton of Merck stock and had it split a few times. Depends on the company.

          Congrats if you hit it big.

                  Its a private company

                  Got them at their valuation last May, and they are up 20% since then

                  Obviously I only benefit if our value grows, but I am very confident

                      Most likely not

                      Ownership hopes to sell the company in ~4 years

                        36,000 shares? Must be a penny stock, which means it has no where to go but up.
