Re: I started developing a theory that maybe the people at these cash-based-paying companies weren't quite smart enough to figure out the total compensation package was actually lower there In retrospect, things didn't turn out quite as expected for many of the option holders. What percentage of option holders cashed out in time, do you think?

"maybe the people at these cash-based-paying companies weren't quite smart enough to figure out the total compensation package was actually lower there" Maybe they are just honest enough to realize that the "stock-motivated" companies are basically a scam of the Earth, and simply are not comfortable to work for them? The motivation by stock price frequently dictates bad short-term-oriented technical and other decisions, and heavy stock hyping. By cashing the options out, you sell an overhyped stock to unsuspicious sucker: this is the name of a game. Period. You cannot exclude the "Enron-style abuse", as you worded it, the "enronia" is inherently built into the motivation. - Ali
