Am just wondering how much detail you have looked into in regard to the options grants. The Dell financial report from the annual report is confusing to me. Total assets up $4 bil LT debt unchanged, yet current liabilities are up a bit over $3 bil. 51 mm shares repurchased. I did not see the list of options granted or options exercised in the last report. So cannot compute a cost allowed for options. Most new option grants are made at a strike price close to the share price on the options grant date Therefore they do not represent a significant cost to the company unless the stock goes up. If they reported the value of outstanding options on the date covered by the last report, and allowed $3 bil charge for it, the stock may be $5 less today and no allowance need be made if they are now out of the money. And yet it seems that the rise in current liabilities has something to do with options Altogether clear as mud to me. I may have to download the whole annual report in that unreadable PDF format and print it out to see what is being reported. And try to find the options granted listing. Sig
