Show me a company donating newly issued stock and writing it off from earnings.

Companies are already writing off the value of shares connected with stock options when they report net income to the IRS.

my only complaint is that there is no accounting for stock options.

As you well know, this is untrue. It is well accounted for under diluted earnings.

Sorry, all the diluted earnings does is divide misstated earnings by additional shares to arrive at a misstated EPS. Please show me where a diluted EPS takes into account the differernce between strike price and market price, the cost? Do you now contend that the strike price at which stock options are issued is irrelevant? And that the value of the shares is irrelevant? Come on Clark, let's get real.

Eventually all skeletons work their way out of the closet; this scam (practiced disproportionately by tech companies) being perpetrated on public investors----lack of accounting for stock options, will eventually see the light of day. Hopefully, you can cash your stock options in before it happens, but with Standard and Poors set to knock the first pin down in the near future with their Core Earnings reports, you better hurry.

Best, Huey
