When Is the Best Time to Exercise Those Stock Options?
We hear about stock options all the time in the news. It seems like anytime a big company is involved in some sort of financial transaction the term “stock options” is thrown around at some point.

So perhaps you have been given some stock options and now you’re starting to wonder when you should exercise those options. Before you choose to move forward there are several things to consider.
- Your company’s plan
- Your company’s growth
- Your current financial needs
