- The post discusses an individual's concerns about holding Oracle shares inherited through an ESOP, given global economic uncertainty and personal risk aversion. The decision to sell is driven by personal circumstances and a lack of familiarity with the US stock market, rather than a specific negative outlook on Oracle. This highlights potential selling pressure from retail investors driven by fear, which could have a minor negative impact.
Inherited a few oracle shares from my late husband which he was given via the employee stock plan (ESOP ig?). I am not an American citizen (Indian) but the stocks are held at Fidelity Investments, so I am worried about the whole Trump fiasco. Do y'all suggest I let it sit for a few years or sell it now. Ofc, luckily by god's grace I am at a good place right now and financially don't need that money but I'm scared with everything going around the globe and seeing oracle stocks dip every other day. The thing is once I sell them I will not invest them again in stocks, at least not in the US market. Would really be grateful if y'all can help and suggest what should be done in this scenario since I'm not very aware about stocks and shares and also don't know the internal happenings of Oracle.
