No surprise there. I expect your opinion is the predominate one in Silicon Valley.

I hope you aren't assuming that those in SV that are against that black sholes method are in it for personal gain. The number of individuals with large option grants is much smaller than the number of investors in tech public companies in SV.

Here are some notes from the call, an analyst asked about options expensing. JC mentioned how the black sholes model had an expense of over 3billion last year and 141mm this year for the same grants. Since these can't be exercised is this accurate? I want to see operating earnings not some made up expenses on the P/L but thats just me.
