The combination of this prolonged war stalemate and relentless pursuit of financial disclosure is going to put a lot of teetering companies out of business

Imo, Silicon Valley, as well as many old economy companies, brought this so called "climate of relentless pursuit of financial disclosure" upon themselves. Had any of the BODs and executives taken their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders seriously, shareholders wouldn't now be taking a step back and asking where all the "wealth" went. Insiders saw the stock options loophole, and couldn't resist exploiting this loophole to the max. Had management even remotely shown some reasonable restraint, stock options probably wouldn't be such and front and center issue. I suspect one of the legacies resulting from the incredible greed and disrespect of shareholders by this last generation of hi tech management, will be that investors do indeed come to view stock options as an expense (properly imo), and the opportunities for financial gain for bright young managers like Ardethan, will be far less than would be otherwise, had not his predecessors been so incredibly greedy and abused the trust that shareholders placed in them.
