Employee options are a special case, since they can only be traded (exercised) after a specified date. This one point alone is enough to argue that Black-Scholes valuations can't be fairly applied to employee options. ARG, and ARG again! Here I am posting about options. I own 100 stinky shares of SEBL. There are two reasons I don't own more. 1) I don't understand the CRM business, or the software business in general and my eyes glaze over when I try to learn, and 2) I don't like their options policy-not wether they expense them or not, just the numbers of them that they grant. Does this make me right in some absolute way? NO. To reiterate, if one does not like the options policy of a company, or ANY OTHER detail of a business, one would be wise to look for other vehicles to invest in. There are thousands of them. ARS Didn't mean to direct this at you UF, you were just last up on the post parade.
