... these "stock buy backs" that you mentioned are more geared to prevent dilution due to employee option plans than they are for the good of the common share holder. Pardon me! Do you believe that "preventing dilution" is not in the shareholder's interest? Agree that stock options have become a form of employee compensation; that employee compensation is an operating expense; and should be shown as such. SEC and FASB also think that current accounting practices need to be revised and soon. General populace is completely unaware of the impact of options on operating earnings for the companies that they hold. Few believe that employees actually earn salaries that should be in excess of $2M or $3M annually let alone the tens and hundreds of Millions, some officers are skimming off the top. FWIW, Ian.
