OT ... re "The issue is whether or not 16K employees of a company can realistically generate 14 billion of wealth through the exercise of stock options over a 10 year period. I say no, it isn't really possible. In fact, it is so far off the mark of a realistic ballpark amt I really couldn't let it go. You now say stock options are a "major" contributor to the phantom cash machine (which has magically generated a bunch of cash). OK so how much of that 14 billion do you think came from employee options exercising then John?"

Lizzie, John just showed you that $10.348 billion came from option exercise during just the last 7 years. And you don't consider that in the ballpark of $14 billion?

Regards, Ron
