inesa, re: " Well CPN did not close at 5.75 as one can easily see." Yesterday it did... maybe the article made a mistake. It is disappointing the fund didn't receive better demand at its IPO. In another article: "Calpine to Expense Future Stock Options - First Major IPP to Adopt Preferred Accounting Standard" biz.yahoo.com While I support this move it could make comparisons with similar stock choices problematic. At a practical level, it has no affect on cash flow but the reduction in reported earnings may carry greater weight. I wonder what the magnitude of the expense will be. (Of course, I should look at my annual report which probably contains this information in the notes section as an optional accounting method.) -PT
