They're not using the method that Coke is going to use. You are sighting numbers that are based on ALL accumulated options to date and based on the the massive bull market of the 90s. I know this is complicated for you, but some of us understand the theory. As you know, if the stock does not go up, the TRUE effect to EPS of option grants would be ZERO. If a stock goes up 10,000% like it did in the 90s the option grants might have a noticible effect. Do you really think that the stock price will go up by 10,000% over the next 10 years? If so, than you are right, the method Coke is going to use might cause EPS to feel a modest impact due to option grants. I'm encouraged that you think the stock will do so well. Dave
