Gary - Re:"Would you be better off if you are still working for Intel (where you can get options each year) ?..." Maybe yes, maybe no. One thing about options - they are granted at a fixed strike price but are generally not exercisable (20 or 25% of the grant) until about one year from the date of the grant, and 20 or 25% yearly after that. Intel's "Evergreen" stock option program can stretch this out even further - four or more years into the future. If one was convinced that Intel's stock was a slam dunk profitable investment, one could also choose to purchase the shares on the open market when he chooses and in whatever quantities, in lieu of, or in addition to, any stock options. In this latter case, it matters not whether you are or you aren't an Intel employee. Of course, being an Intel employee provides BOTH opportunities. One of the advantages of being outside Intel is a better perspective of the entire technology community and other investment opportunities. For many reasons (10 or 12 hour workdays, etc.), these opportunities are not readily present when your life is tied up within Intel. Paul
