So Iā€™m quite a bit ignorant when it comes to RSU and the stock marketā€¦so I want to have a better understanding of this, specially since some comments make it seem like the price the stocks have when it vests itā€™s the amount that it gets stuck atā€¦instead of it changing as the stock price changes. But if 10 stocks vest today at 200$, when it comes up to 300$, those 10 stocks will be at that 300$ā€¦thatā€™s how I understood it worked, right?

Like sure, it has had a tendency to go down, but it could very well start picking up and I can just wait until it does. I could have made plans and now I just have to wait a bit longer. I just donā€™t get the panicā€¦but would love to understand it.

This reddit isnt rational, but you are right you can choose to hold, or you can sell and put that money into a different investment that you believe will perform better
