it isn't a "so what" though rkral, these volitility issues are precisely WHY there are no tradeable options for new issues. You need to wait 6 mos minimum for the options to exist even though there is a fair amt of financial incentive for the exchanges to offer them sooner. This is the issue I have with this entire options debate. There are no right answers as to how to do this stuff, it is obvious Google is going to have tens of billions of options expenses on the books in the second quarter of life as a public company. It is not a so-what. You are one of the people who keeps saying that these are "real" expenses so how should I evaluate them to decide on my bid for the auction, hmmmm? (I don't think you have an answer other than the obvious - IGNORE THEM they are not real anyway) The reason the options expensing people latched on to black scholes was because they were trying to make a philisophical point that options were compensation which meant they had to come up with a valuation at grant and the only thing available was B/S for equity options.
