Wally M: re:("a simple way to expense options")

Thanks for the interesting linked article.

"..expense them (ie. employee stock options) when they are exercised, we'll know what they're worth. They'll be worth the value of the cash an employee gets when exercising the options."

That cash received from the company by the employee upon exercising stock options = ZERO.

So charge ZERO to Option Expense in the period of option exercise. That sounds right to me.

I never was a supporter of the corporate income tax deduction related to exercised employee stock options. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I see it as a gift from the politicians to corporations. It is an unneeded (in my opinion) incentive to issue employee stock options. I see little discussion of this issue.
