so you're saying that all the options issued to Juniper in 98/99 with strike prices of 250, when JNPR had double the number of current employees - that those expenses actually came to pass? I don't think so. I think most of the non senior management options issued to Juniper staff for the entire existance of the company expired worthless. And with JNPR being one of the most volitile stocks on the naz once, those expenses would have been high. In fact I remember buying JNPR options myself once or twice and the premium was outrageous. Maybe black scholes works in a vacuum. But when you start expensing employee options in the middle of a bubble at grant when there is no chance at exercising for one year and within that year the industry goes from boom to bust, its hard to see how it provides clarity for anyone.
