"Tax-wise, it's easier to sell the whole lot and then repurchase shares than it is to do a mixed sell-purchase scenario" I can see your goal, thanks. However, I do not recall any indications that Barrett et al. are buying back... "I generally see gains from mature options as cash for diversification... but that's just me." Maybe for you it is less risky, I would agree. But why would a fully informed officer, with full visibility into future products, who actually define guidelines for financial engineering and creative accountings, would invest into something much less visible and unknown like other companies, unless they have not quite positive outlook? - Ali
