willowy, "..preaching to a wrong guy. Sorry Ali, no luck with me." Yep, I can see this clearly now.
"Suggesting that Intel deceived investors is a nonsense (let's call it Ali's fantasy)."
It is not my fantasy, sorry to break the hews to you. The scheme was discovered by someone at Forbes Magazine and published in mid-1998. The article uncovered this pattern with Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Intel, and few more companies. With facts of earnings and their overstatements due to under-reported labor expenses. Since then the topic of expensing of options was gradually attracting more and more attention until even some accounting changes were instituted, I am not following the topic lately.
"don't lecture people around on some fancy ideas, stick to simple facts. Respectfully,"
Respectfully? Eh?
Now, after I have educated you sufficiently, good bye. Sorry to break your glass house of perfect business. I just tried to help.
