Hi Mad, Options candy is dilution of the shareholders! If the company was so great, why wouldn't they keep the shares for appreciation.? ESOPS that primarily go to the top management, and not the lowly worker, that serially get sold upon issuance is the best tip to sell out on pops. Companies that buy back shares, so the ESOP does not dilute the shareholder is a neutral move. If they pay a dividend and increase it, it is a shareholder friendly company - my kind of buy! Read the non-gaap reconciliation to form your view on how friendly and profitable the company is. NON-GAAP earnings has evolved into a scourge in modern accounting, in my very conservative view. IT is options candy for upper management ,who justify it in their "Peer Compensation analysis" PERIOD! Bob
