Intel can do business without options if they move development elsewhere (outside of US). I came to the conclusion last year that the entire problem with options compensation is R&D really. Lizzie, I think you are being overdramatic---at least in the case of Intel. It was not until fiscal 2001 that options, had they been expensed, would have represented a very high percentage of Intel's reported earnings, and a big contributing factor to this phenomenon was the tech recession and low total earnings. Andy Grove led this company to greatness long before the recent era of handing out stock options like candy, and I am not at all convinced that Intel cannot be a great company again someday without outsourcing all its R&D to India. In some respects, expensing stock options will separate the wheat from the chaffe. I believe that truly outstanding outstanding performance, by either companies or individual employees, can continue to be well rewarded, while mediocre and average talent may just have to settle for less. This isn't the end of the world imo. Instead, it may singal the beginning of a more efficient flow of capital in our economy. JMO, Huey
