I know zero about stocks or anything about how the markets work. I have a little bit of stock from an ESPP program I opted into at an old company because they sold it to us at a good discount. I've been sitting on it for years, and it's never done much. At the moment, the price is about double what I paid for it, so I've decided just to dump it and maybe buy some cool new toys with the cash.
If I log into Etrade and trade all these shares on a weekend, while the markets are closed, what price do I get for them? Does the trade execute when the markets open, and is that price going to be different from what it closed at on Friday? Should I just wait until Monday and trade it while the markets are open if the price is still good?
