"Time to Look at Stock Options' Real Cost" nytimes.com <<snip>> Last week, word came that Representative Michael G. Oxley, the Ohio Republican who is chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services, had taken a stand against true evil: the International Accounting Standards Board. His act of bravery was voicing his determination to keep America safe from the proper accounting of companies' stock options. How corporations account for the stock options they bestow, mostly on top executives, may not appear crucial to a nation at war against terrorism. But Mr. Oxley seems to think that America is imperiled if its companies can no longer overstate earnings by misrepresenting their employee costs. ______________________ This is an example of links/information regularly posted and scrutinized on the 'Clown Free Zone.' That's why I think the thread is one of the best on SI. We're all ostensibly here in the first place because we're trying to manage our own finances. BTW: Naturally, Mr. Oxley is a Republican. -g- bia
