Hi John, nice analysis. I think it highlights the problem very nicely. I'm thinking the way to solve the problem right quickly is to ban non-qualified options and leave only the incentive stock options available for distribution. That way the full effect is noted within the income statement, so shareholders can make a quick judgement on whether they think it is worth funding a company that practices this much dilution. My guess is that you'd see a substantial paring back of options given out in order to ensure the company increases earnings. This would bring us back in line with focusing the company's structure on increasing economic value, not robbing peter to pay paul.
