RE: Employee Stock Options Sun is stingy on giving out stock options, a mature company has to be careful not to dig a big liability hole. And that is good for us shareholders. But not that great for employees. Hey, wait a minute.... Doesn't M$FT hand out a ton of options? I understand they now that they have a $60B options liability (is it really that huge?) that is increasing at a rate faster than revenues, shouldn't shareholders be worried? Imagine, every tick in stock adds to their liability, as does each option vesting date. I bet many of these shareholders are the same ones thinking that they'll still receive social security in 20 years... How about this slogan - "Where do you want to cower in fear today?" ...MicroPonzi Ouch. Maybe I am just a little giddy, making all this $ is fun. However, just now sold a bunch of Jan 125 calls. Gotta pull back sometime, this is incredible. JG
