Stock options...to expense or not expense?! It seems that no matter how you slice it - stock options act like the alligator clips that transfer a cheap electric spark of incentive pay to the nipples of diluted shareholder value!<g> td

I am all for stock options but it needs to be expensed so that investors are not taken to cleaners by these ROBBERS/THIEVES aka CEO's. Interestingly a bank robber gets prison time but these ROBBERS/THIEVES aka CEO's walk away with millions of loot with no prison time. It MUST stop. Unless stock options are expensed market will not rebound and then we will realized all these companies are way overvalued including so called Gorilla & King candidates. Greenscam shares much of the blame for this bubble for bailing out LTCM in 1998, wiping out pensions and 401K's. He has lost his magical touch and now feeding Real Estate Bubble, which will continue for 1-2 years and then we will see prices stagnating for next 10-15 years or coming down. People will work till they die. IMHO. dallasnews.com
