How about expensing when options are exercised? That might make more sense.

I'm in favor of regulatory change that 1). requires that there be no dilution due to the exercise of options and 2). requires the cost of shares purchased to prevent said dilution to be expensed.

Trying to do who-do-voodoo with Black-Scholes or any other such crystal ball gazing is ridiculous. The real cost of options is the cost that is attempting to be cast off upon the shareholder. The company is in business, let it expense whatever incentive programs it wishes to implement is a fair and above board manner that let's everyone see the true cost of doing that business, not just those costs the company hasn't found a creative way not to count.
