<<Shareholders are not liable for options that are granted but never exercised. Ya can't argue with that, can you?>>

In that case you were liable and then they expired after which they're not. Besides, that's not what he said.

<<Options that are granted but are currently out of the money aren't worth much in a declining stock market environment, especially if they are WAY out of the money. Ya can't argue with that, either, can you?>>

Options are worth what they're worth at any moment in time, it's very easy to value them. And besides, that's not what he said.

<<So although the guy wasn't 100% correct in his statement - because an option that is currently out of the money and unexercised will become dilutive if the shares rise to a level where the option is in the money - his sentiment was accurate. >>

No his statement wasn't accurate. Here is the statement:

<<Shareholders are only liable for options granted that are excercised or still "in the money".>>

<<In conclusion - it's probably not the DUMBEST sentence you've ever read (or somehow heard, if you got some text-audio software thingamajig on your PC).>>

Your conclusion actually turned out right because your argument is EVEN dumber!! You can't even argue the point... you're over in the corner arguing YOUR point with yourself.

<<So you can apologize now.......>>

No, now you can go pound sand. :^)
