Caxton - Nice point by point reply to Tero. You might consider sending it to TheStreet. I don't know if they publish stuff like that pointing out the foibles of their columnists but it might be worth a try.

Stock Options Come Under Fire online.wsj.com The last serious clash over stock options was in 1994, and the business lobby won it handily. Odds are that it also will prevail this time around, with a pitch that options make the American economy perform better let us hope that the Forces of Evil do not so easily prevail this time. here is what Warren Buffett--perhaps the most honest American Capitalist--says: "If options aren't a form of compensation, what are they? If compensation isn't an expense, what is it? And, if expenses shouldn't go into calculations of earnings, where in the world should they go?" only those who profit from the naivete of the individual investor, or those too blinded by hype to realize they are being duped, could not agree with Buffet. IMHO

>Don't forget that Samsung was a "low end" company only a >few years back. Now they are leaders in cell phones, TVs, Caxton, I understand that Samsung are leaders in cell phones and TVs within your family. You may feel that it adds class and status, that Samsung phone bulging in the pocket of your light blue polyester pants. However, more generally speaking they are not leaders in anything. If you don´t count loss leaders that is. - rajala
