👌

But it’s super hard to value stocks lots of uncertainty

However, i would love to Play Outlast 2 in VR, only pro of Technology

Is vr any good

It doesn’t have much appeal to me

I am fine with my big monitor

Eh, maybe not vr but an augmented, enhanced version of it

Stock based pay is meh

I do think those games coild@be fun but we’re not quite there yet

Good for the company, usually average for the employee

Wel you can sell the stocks immediately once they vest

So it’s almost as good as cash except for the vesting part

Some companies make your 401k match vest. That’s super cheap

Yeah the return after the vest is usually market tier
But the company writes it off as a capital loss
So tax deduction for them

Well if they can give employees more value and pay less taxes that’s a win for both

Nationalism over Globalism.

And then the employees only pay a gains tax
So it's literally a loss of like 70% tax revenue

Lol, taxes.

Lol wages.

No you have to pay taxes on the value of the stocks when you get them

I lose like 1/3 my stocks to withholding

They get sold immediately and given to the government

You pay tax on dilution?

Weird

Wait till something replaces these systems.

What then?

There’s two kinds of stocks companies give. Stock options where employee can buy it cheap and stock grant where the company just pays you free stocks

Oh okay
I'm thinking of the latter

If your company literally gives you stocks that’s income you need to pay taxes in

This makes more sense now

It goes right on your w-2

What’s dilution

If they give you more stock, the rest of your equity goes down in value

Same market cap but more shares

For a small company yeah maybe

If it’s publicly traded the shares you get are a drop in the bucket

dentist office be like

Cute

So even though in the aggregate you have more wealth on paper you just made a loss on every share

I mean that’s not true if your company’s stock price is going up
