ParticipantWhen I lived in Carlsbad, I found a tomato on the grill of my BBQ one night. Of course, it was quite the mystery as to how the tomato got there, but the mystery was soon solved when I fired up the grill one night and a mouse/rat came flying out the bottom of the grill.
After moving to Carmel Valley, I get the same thing, a small rat/mouse that visits the grill. And my wife often sees him run past the slider in the back yard.
I worked at a company on the hill directly across the street from the Torrey Pines golf course. They had a section of the wall where these rats lived and they had to remove dead rats from the wall every so often. They even had to leave part of the wall covered with just plywood so they could change the traps and collect dead rats every so often.
So the gist is that mice and rats are commonplace here and just about impossible to get rid of, at least we don’t have those giant roaches they have in other places.

December 20, 2007 at 2:58 PM in reply to: Poll: ESPP participants. Do you typically take the money and run or hold for cap gaps treatment. #121658Doofrat
ParticipantIf your stock doesn’t move much and is relatively safe, then I’d wait for the LT gains, but remember that the state (Ca.) still taxes you fully on it (I could be wrong about this, but unfortunately, probably not).
If you have options, you can exercise and sell those before selling the ESPP because you’ll get whacked on the ST gains anyway, that’s what I always try to do.
Of course my company had stock that was all over the place, so my perspective is different. I saw a lot of co-workers trying to save a some money on taxes get hit with AMT (buying options) or seeing the stock drop 50% before they sold their ESPPs or options.
So from my perspective with the volatile stock, if it’s a good time to sell, don’t think about the tax consequences.
