<<The whole argument is bogus. What does it cost to write down on a piece of paper that one is granted options that are exercisable in x years, normally outside of the current LEAP range. Assigning any value is no better than a guestimation.>> A guestimate is better than assigning no value... that's just ignoring it. As a matter of fact banks value these options every day, and if you want a bid on some you need only call 'em up. <<They are worthless until exercisable. It costs the corporation nothing. Yet they reduce the earnings per share in the diluted share calculation. >> No they aren't... the represent potential real dilution and real value given away to employees or who ever. As I said, if you want a bid on a 10 year, give any investment bank a call. DAK
