Hi Rob, Options started out as a great idea. Displays such as this point out that which we already know - greed often destroys a good idea. These option greed grabs are diluting the wealth of the stockholders. Know any stockholders that have made millions lately - just the shorts right. I'm not totally against options - but to the degree that they flood and diminish the underlying stockholders investment value - it has gone too far. This is an unfortunate example of that and Larry with 25% of the stock, should start relying on selling off his 25% at what must be a good price vs. diluting it to pay for his adventures. JMHO The more stockholders get outraged by this bleeding - the less of it there will be. Long Oracle and still liking it - but I'd like it better if the price went up faster.Stopping these option freebees is a way of ensuring the future rise. Bob
