Imo, you are still failing to distinguish between being in favor of properly recognizing stock option compensation on the income statement and the arguments as to what is the most favorable form of employee compensation. Your arguments tying being in favor of expensing stock option compensation on the income statement to being against employee stock option compensation have no better basis than an argument tying being in favor of recording cash compensation on the income statement to being against cash compensation.

Intel got to be where it is today, because of options.

This is possible, but do you have any evidence that Intel would have had less stock option compensation or not have similarly succeeded if it had recognized its stock option expenses on the income statement? For most of the years that Rkal has provided us with data, it looked like Intel would be quite profitable even if the company had expensed stock options. I suspect Andy Grove and many of the Intel leaders and employees were capable and smart enough to have successfully built the Intel company without hiding stock option compensation expenses.

but if China has a better option policy than your country

You have brought up China and India again. I am under the distinct impression that the boom in hi tech activity in those countries is tied to having a well educated, low cost IT workforce, not to having more favorable stock option policies. I can recall Rkal asking you to provide links substantiating these countries' accounting policies with regard to stock options, but I can't recall you ever providing us with any links. If you have responded to Rkal's request with links, please direct me towards your post. I am interested in reading about their policies. Meanwhile, imo, the International Accounting Standards Board will continue to work towards its long run goal of world accounting standards that include expensing of stock options on the income statements.
