<prompt> Human: Is any of this money mine? If I wanted to take some out is that possible? Is so, how much? I dont know anything about stocks.Thanks. Edit: wow this got way more replies than I was expecting. Thanks everyone for taking the time to explain this to me. I got a lot of really great answers. Assistant: Looks like you have 10k in exercisable options. Do you know what the strike price is? Versus what the current share price is?Human: Stock price was around 88 I think. I dont know what a strike price is. Does exercisable mean I can take it out if I want? Im gonna leave it in either way, but just curious if I have actual money in there in case of an emergency. Assistant: You should not consider this emergency money. Exercisable means you can order them to exercise your right to buy that 10,000 to buy the company stock at a certain price, its likely that youll not pay face value for the stock. You can then go and sell it for current face value. So youll probably add a few thousand onto that.If I were you, I would exercise and sell that 10,000, keep it as an emergency fund, and then keep holding onto that other 9000 until it is vested.Human: So if I wanted I could take the 10k out now? Is that smarter than letting it sit and hope the company stock keeps going up?  <response>: Err, I replied to the next guy, but Ill put it here too:In my humble opinion, investing heavily in the company you work for is not generally a good idea. It can turn out well, but the chance, howsoever remote, of the company folding and you losing both your income and your savings--because theyre invested in the company--is a risk I wouldnt want to take.
