<<<Is there any method of expensing stock options on the income statement that you are in favor of, or are you in not in favor of expensing stock options on the income statement under any circumstance? >>> I really have mixed opinions about option expensing. The strongest reason for me to expense options is to halt abuse via the transfer of wealth from shareholders to employees. I am not in favor of expensing options on the income statement if it does not attempt to capture the real cost of the option. If expensing is the law of the land, then let it be as accurate as possible.
