don, repricing options is so "last week." why? there are negative tax implications. msft didn't reprice options when their price cratered - the doubled down. yes, they just double the # of options at the lower strike price to avoid the tax liability associated with repricing.

the #1 and #2 reasons to offer options to employees is to transfer wealth from shareholders to insiders and to take advantage of accounting loopholes to *goose* the income statement.
