Investing 101
Equity landed you in the world of investing. Unlike a cash bonus or raise, equity is an investment in the future of your company. And, sure, you could treat it like a bonus and cash out your shares at the first opportunity. But you could also hold onto your investment so it has the potential to grow or reinvest a portion to build a diversified portfolio.
