Stock and option grants really do not represent expenses to the company itself, and, in fact, in the case of options produce real positive cash flow to the company. This is hard to accept, but let me try an example that just might help clarify the fundamental issues. don, i just explained where it did. If the real certificate is picked, the company has given up something of no value to itself, as seen above this is wrong. does a dollar bill have value? yes, exactly what the market will pay for it. IF that stock cert is legit and transferrable, it has value like a dollar... what the market will pay for it - in this case $100. to say it doesn't have value is to say a dollar bill has no value - both statements just aren't true. our society defines value into them. both of them.
