Bambs, The fact that options have "value" is not the argument. The argument is how to account for that value properly. In accounting, we do not expense opportunity cost. So, if I buy a computer for a company for $2000 that is really worth $4000, I do not expense the "$2000" I could have gotten by selling the computer. The other difference is that companies do not have to buy the stock to fulfill their calls. They just issue the equity themselves. There is no cost, Cisco does not pay for Cisco shares, except via dilution, which is ALREADY accounted for.
