Hands washed with respect to NetApp

NetApp stock jumped a couple of dollars today and I sold off my remaining stock options. I went 5 years at NetApp with the stock underwater. But they were still Golden Handcuffs. I didn't make the millions I was slated to before Dot Bomb, but I finally got some reward for all of the hard work I poured into that company.

Sun has a policy, which I'm sure most companies also do, that you can't have a major investment in another company. Especially one which can be viewed as a competitor. They do have an escape clause for prior options, but I am glad to be rid of any appearance of conflict. It won't change how I view either company. Neither will it change how I interact with NetApp or their employees.

Now I just have to learn to watch Sun's stock and make sure I contribute to making it rise.
