So vote with your pocketbook and buy someone else's stock (if you can find a company that is not abusing the option laws...good luck). I'm not disagreeing with you about the exorbitant sums that some of these guys get, but the ones who have been there since for 20+ years deserve to be wealthy. When they are cashing in on options they got 10 years ago it's because they have to since they are expiring. They held them the whole time and didn't have to. Nothing wrong with that.

But if you're looking to change the option laws, you're going about it in the wrong place.

Personally, as one who has benefited from options in the past, I agree with most of what is being said about options. They are too rich and offer not enough risk. But thems the rules in corporate America today.
