Hi Duke, RE: "BUT the exercise price can and should be (disclosed.)"

Grant prices are - at least, I found them when I was reading Edgar. I also found a sentence (I think in the proxy) that said Intel issues options at fair market value.

RE: "I don't know it the new SEC rules require disclosure filings at grant date, or just closer to the exercise date."

Grant date, of course, I would think.

One SEC ruling I think they should create for all public companies: require filing 5 days in advance of exec transactions. (Not that I think this is an issue with Intel, but I'd like to see it for the small public companies where there can be potential for weird stuff. An SEC rule couldn't single out just small companies, but if it were applied to all public companies, that would do the trick.) There's nothing worse than an exec of a startup (where it of course has more impact) sell his/her stock on the unsuspecting public market and tank it with no impact to him/her. I thought there was going to be some new SEC rule to fix that?

I think the SEC should require the top-most execs to hold onto a certain percent of their stock. In the engineering world this is called, eating your own dog food.

I prefer if an exec accumulates millions in shares because they have faithfully held onto a certain percent, but it seriously bugs me to see an exec dump *all* of his/her shares every single year. Doesn't build confidence. Makes you want to toss the guy/gal out.

Regards,
Amy J
