MB, yesterday an S-8 from MU hit the SEC registering roughly 32 mil. shares as part of their employee stock options plans. On the surface, it looks dilutive, but how do these types of registrations for employee stock options play out?

They're registered, but when do they hit the market and become shares outstanding and part of EPS calculations? Or does the company immediately buy them back and retire them once employees cash out?

As someone over on the MU thread pointed out, it would seem hard to believe that a company can just create about $0.9 billion in market value w/ a filing.

Here's the link:

Of course, MU being MU, there's other interesting stuff in there as well <g>

Good trading,

Tom
