That's a good point. Options are worth most to employees when they are given out when things are bad. However, dilution is never good for shareholders, and with Cisco dilution has reached problematic proportions. The only cure for that is buybacks coupled with a cessation of grants. Our debates don't reall matter, though. FASB is about to make everyone expense options and when that happens, Cisco along with many other companies will stop giving out options. Then shareholders will start REALLY participating in Cisco's great profitability going forward, instead of having most of the benefits go to employees.
