Hi Hueyone, RE: "Andy Grove led this company to greatness long before the recent era of handing out stock options like candy,"

Handing out of stock options "like candy" is incorrect - the % total has reasonably been consistent throughout all the 90s to 2001. (Haven't seen proxy for 2002)

So, what's the issue then? The "value" (not amount) went up in 2000 because the "value" of INTC went up due to investors exuberance.

Unfortunately, I recall being overly exuberant when INTC was $58. That's my fault, not the company's.

The math for handing out options didn't really change -

- so your statement "recent era of handing out stock options like candy" is incorrect.

Regards,
Amy J
PS Stock options were around in Intel's early days (there was an old post on this.)
