Mike -

[...are you a lobbyist for pro esop group? -g- I still say the scale on which esops are being (ab)used amounts to shareholder rip off! There is a saying don't mistake brains for a bull market - that saying applies to management as well. ]

I believe that we are both correct at the same time. Certain levels of stock options are beneficial (and essential for many industries) to shareholders even if most actual plans are abusive in one way or another.
