Uber employees can finally sell their stock. Well...

Quote from this article on The Washington Post.

"Uber's valuation is down 44% at $26/share" At the time, Uber’s valuation was around $68 billion. It is currently worth $45.9 billion, based on its Wednesday share price, about 44 percent lower than its IPO valuation.
"They owe taxes based on $45/share" One Uber employee who joined pre-IPO says they were given an offer sheet that assumed the stock price would range from about $40 on the low end up to around $100. The dip in price was made worse by the fact that employees owe taxes based on the IPO price of $45 a share.

Some Uber employees think now is the best time to join, because there is only going to be "upsides". Thoughts?

IMO If you are looking for short term gains and don't plan to invest it for minimum 3-4 years, anything related to SoftBank is to avoid.

 

I met an uber driver that cashed out @ $43. I've also met several employees that are holding on in hopes that it will be $1000 one day.
