"Believe me, every employee at Apple right now is accutely aware of this fact." Good, that's what I want. Let's keep it that way. When the company performs to expectations, they will profit from their existing options. Socialism is dead. That's not exactly accurate. If the employees have options priced at 45, they could generate a 100% return from this point and not see any return. That just isn't matching incentives to desired actions. Repricing options is a taxable event, but granting new options at the current price is not. It is also completely consistent with shareholder goals. As for socialism being dead, you clearly aren't watching the same presidential debates I am. :)
