CTC, Logged in for a brief moment and found out about your suspension and subsequent reinstatement. This goes to show how combination of good intentions and s/w bots are a recipe for disaster. Good to have you back! Now, speaking of options, I am afraid that I have to disagree with you outside of the accounting issue. I find ESOPs an excellent way of compensating employees, if implemented properly. IOW, if the company can buy the options that it is selling to it's employees from the market then the burden of employee compensation is being taken over from the company by the other side of the transacting party in the market. This can only be beneficial for the company. Also, if the company does rather well, ESOPs regularly compensate the employees in a manner far significant than their regular paycheck. I am not sure how many companies can actually compensate their employees at that level out of cash and still stay in the business. If the stock price falls, since the company has bought the calls in the market it has 0 liability and it's liability towards the employees have also fallen. If it rises, the burden is on the market, not the company. A win-win situation. -BGR.
