I didn't see those....thanx Di

I think two trends are evident:

1. Most companies in the climate that is evolving will feel compelled to "report" options expense in some way, though without regulation or FASB standards there will be a period of time when they spin the numbers to make them appear palatable.

2. Eventually, a standardized expensing regime will take hold (perhaps allowing for reporting using alternative methods).

I think this will lead to a dramatic decrease in the number of options granted.
