Ron,

Be that as it may.

The one thing that supporters of option expensing have never acknowledged, let alone addressed, is that no other expense has the characteristic that the bigger the stock price dependent expense, the better off the shareholders.

When people talk about a CEO cashing in $10M in stock or options, they never seem to realize that the rest of the shareholders would be willing to kill to increase the number to $20M due to a higher stock price.

Doesn't it make anyone the least bit nervous to claim to be measuring the business performance of a company by a means that depends on the largely arbitrary and capricious trajectory of the stock price?

Regards, Don
