<Companies that refuse to expense options will suffer. In the end they will be forced to give in.>

Really. Why hasn't FASB mandated that companies expense income? Because it is handled in the footnotes per FASB.

Does a company expense shares when they issue a secondary stock offering? No, because it is handled in the dilution of shares outstanding, just like stock options when they are exercised.

Do you understand why companies report pro forma earnings? Because it gives the investor a window to compare operating earnings without all the extra ordinary items. The GAAP numbers are also reported so what's your beef?

Stock options and pro forma reporting have been around for years and now your just waking up and sounding the bugle. Please!
