it doesnt really matter to me if options are expensed or not. It makes no difference in the long-run intrinsic value of a company. so, would you say that if a company paid all of its bills in stocks, that makes no difference to the long-run intrinsic value and therefore it "doesn't really matter" whether those noncash payments are expensed? you know, if you follow the arguments of the option-expense skeptics to their logical conclusion, cos shouldn't even expense their cash outlays. after all, that money, once removed from the co treasury, will simply reduce the co's per-share book value (just as share dilution via options or stock issuance would), so in the "long run" maybe it doesn't matter. btw, the distinction between options and simple stock issuance is a lot grayer than some may imagine. numerous cos issue options struck well below current market prices.
