>>If the market cap goes down by the end of the year his payout is reduced.

The economic impact on the corporation occurs when the options plan (or any other stock plan) is approved by shareholders. What happens after that is irrelevant. On occasion, like now, the insanity of these kinds of plans becomes apparent.

The problem here isn't that the stock is going up. The problem is that Samuels and management have been given too many shares, and naive investors like you are going to give them even more. We can't blame Bill Samuels. He's just trying to make as much money as he can.

We can, however, blame you.
