Doesn't use of Black-Scholes suffer from a shortcoming similar to that of pension fund return assumptions (which has recently been suggested as an issue for IBM)? I.e., estimation of the volatility to use in the formula is subject to uncertainty (and hence the potential for abuse).

JMHO, of course.

Exac: If they don't get exercised then they are worthless and that are not dilutive they are therefore not dilutive. So how can you have expensed something that was worth NADA? And if this method or any other method results in giving a cost to something that is worthless then that is NOT accurate accounting.JFD
