Fifth, you are free to buy enough shares

So is he. Why is he basically given millions of shares of stock through the granting of options? Ownership in a company means taking on risk. Options, to a large measure in their current iteration, require no risk whatsoever on behalf of those receiving them. This is wrong in my view.

It is also an insult during difficult times like to exercise options and sell the shares immediately. A slap in the face of all who have held on through the downturn or have even added to their positions.
