Lemme tell you a story about one of my pals with $9 million in stock options from a dot.com that thought his other pal was nuts for cashing-out when his options were only worth about $3 million...

Sounds like my friend that worked at Netscape, cashed in his stock options, bought a house in Celebration, FL (paid for now BTW) then moved to FL. Two months later, the stock he WOULD have still had tanked royally. This was years ago, and he still just does freelance tech stuff occasionally instead of working for someone else.
