AD: "Options are (ISO) are and always will be readjusted to the going market price if regulation(VSE) allows it, any smart business person knows that!!"

Well, I never claimed to be a smart business person.

I do know of instances when ISOs were allowed to expire without being exercised because the exercise price was more than the going market price. I guess the people in charge at those companies weren't smart business people, either.

But, the companies I'm talking about trade on a respectable U.S.A. exchange. Not the VSE, where anything goes. Like I said in my prior post ... "Unless, of course, there's something funny about the VSE regarding issuance of ISOs".

I'm curious how adjusting the ISO price might affect calculations of the Alternative Minimum Tax. Could get really ugly if you have to go back to the year when you were granted the options. Particularly if you had already exercised a vested portion of those options. I suppose that any smart business person would know the answer to that, too. Or, what if I exercised the options this year at $19.00 when the stock was at $20.00 ... then the stock tanked to $10.00 and the company adjusted the ISO price. What's my basis for the purposes of AMT calculations? What if I exercised the options at two different times at two different prices? In the same year? In different years? Gosh, this is just too complex for this non-smart business person to comprehend. I guess I'm gonna' have to find myself a smart business person to answer these miscellaneous questions. Or, maybe just check with you?

Sure is a pretty day.
