show me where shares are even presented in the link. You call this research? if you can't figure out what that link is talking about, then you are hopeless.... which is reflected in your losses with this stock...... that link makes plain the difference between "fair value" methods they are now going to use, and the old method they used to use......... by the way, check out one of today's new companies that is going to change how they report ESO's.... GE.... one of two a day that are switching.......... allthough i doubt you'll understand the significance of the news today for MSFT......... if MSFT were to do the same thing as GE did today..... in about four years..... 30% of MSFT's earnings will no longer be reported as earnings if MSFT continues to issue options the way they have in the past.....which was like a kid in a candy store...... if MSFT stops issuing ESO's, $3 billion of MSFT's cash flow would dry up, which is already down from $5 billion that would be drying up from just two years ago....... jon.
