the risk isn't the same. Instead of capital gain a capital loss may happen - for example when you own stock, like, in particular, after exercise. Whereis in case of stock options there is no risk of loss before…
there are differences. For example, the profit from the grant date to the date of exercise is ordinary income - taxed at your bracket rate, while any profit coming from holding for longer than 1 year after exercise is…
