"I'm writing this post because many of my Class of '14 friends are about to receive their first stock grants."

This implies it's advice to them, not necessarily to everyone.

It also refers to the stock as nest eggs, though. It suggests that the advice is intended for well beyond the first couple of years.

Overall, it just seems a confused post. The circumstances it envisages are extremely remote, and if there was such a huge change in the industry, a bit of cash that you got from selling your first year's worth of granted stock isn't going to make much of a difference.
