It's a muddied issue, but I'm dealing primarily with the seeming illogic of gross abuse of stock options. After all, why pay employees any cash salaries at all? Just pay them in cheap stock, right?

That works all well and good in a mania, but not so hot in a bear or flat market.

I do think that this is a self correcting problem. Shareholders are going to insist that the accounting becomes a bit more transparent and will reward the company with lower stock prices if they don't get it.

On the other hand, I think that stock options can be a wonderful motivator if granted properly. Everything in moderation......
