Maxwell,

in regard to If shareholders are their #1 priority then all the executives shouldn't be given million of shares of options.

I disagree with this statement for two reasons:

1. By making employees and managers shareholders, the interests of these employees and managers are aligned with those of the shareholders. It is normal for some of these shares to be sold, for tax and cash flow reasons. It is important, however, for employees to continue to hold these shares.

2. In the technology field, these days, stock options are required in order to attract the best talent. This is what the job market has brought to the industry. It only becomes a problem when the companies underperform and the options must be repriced. This hurts the shareholders with dilution, but may be necessary to retain or attract top talent.
