enigma, Re: I haven't forgotten the business of accounting for employee stock options - but still can't figure how it can be done or what is proposed. The Sarbanes bill would go some distance toward making stock options appear on the balance sheet. That they are not there is a complete fraud, perpetrated by the high tech industry. I like the way Warren Buffett thinks about the matter. He views stock options as being a "capricious" reward. He's adamant that they are an expense and ought to be accounted for as such. I agree. -Ray
