Searle, Now you are reading MY mind. Since I am the CEO of my own Company with one partner that owns the other half, I am well aware of the temptation. Cannot do it. We want to make the Company strong, and reward the employees for their hard work. They are the one's that brought us to the party. It is really frustrating to see what some of these "GREEDY" bas'""" are doing to their Companies.

I have decided to make my partner the CFO so that we can really take the Company to the "Crapper". Our largest competitor has been building through acquisitions, and have just reported 19.5 million loss on 171 mil in revenue. Banks are still letting them hold on. Cannot let those loans be written off. They currently have $85 mil in notes and working capital outstanding. Go figure.

Need to get back to Companies being moral and ethical, but the government's intervention will not correct this. They are even worse than the corporations they are trying to regulate. Just what we need!! New laws!! That will fix everything. What a country.

Terry

<<<the market has to fall to the point at which these options are valueless>>>
Searle, it cost them nothing to get new options. Options game works in both directions. When a stock is going up they want it to go up to make money on their options. When the same stock is going down they want it to go down more so they can get their new options at the lowest possible level.
All tech companies have employees options repriced as least once.
