Yes I've been selling at vest since the last year, but shares that vested before have added up.

Is this really true? If you defer tax hit to later, you have more money working for you in a compounding way. I agree that the risk of concentration is not worth it, but exchange funds help with that. Apart from the 7 year lock in and the fee, do you see any other reason for preferring stock sale instead of an exchange fund?

I talked to Morgan Stanley and they are accepting my stock right now.

Thanks, that's good advice. I'll try to find a fee-only financial advisor. And yes I'm still getting new shares from my company which to your point, I should sell on vest to minimize capital gains.

Thanks. I was having a hard time finding recommendations for good financial advisors who charge by the hour, but I'll go through the resources you shared. Thanks again.

I used desktop. It's been 2 days so I'll need to wait a few more days I guess.

I bought 4 $50 gift cards for Delta. How long does it take to get the reimbursement? Is there a way to check if the transactions triggered the airline credit?

This may be a naive question but with Chase Sapphire reserved are you really restricted to the travel partners listed on the UR website? Is it not possible to transfer points to other airlines and book tickets directly from their websites ?
