"...last week WSJ that companies routinely trade options on their own stocks. Journal said that Intel made $450M last year on trading Intel Option. Currently they hold $1B worth of Intel Stock in options. Likewise MSFT has $2B of their securities in options. This is a staggering number. In my opinion is that this should be banned. Corporations should not be in the business of trading options..." Agree. It is more than 7% of its annual net income. Companies practice this hace a biased advantage. If the regulation allows it, sure companies will take the advantage. --wsun
