OT ... Lizzie, >>"I combined you with your options-hawk twin, rkral who frequents the threads you don't hit. Like Sun yesterday."<< I currently follow very few threads, QCOM (2 threads), CSCO, SUNW, SEBL, JDSU, and the Employee Stock Options (ESO) thread I started. That you also frequent some of these threads just means we are interested in some of the same companies IMHO. (Huey likes to think and act like the ESO thread is his. <gg> Well, actually it is. It belongs to everyone who wishes to discuss options .. and anything related to them.) I read (and sometimes re-read) most of the posts on these threads. If someone makes a false statement about options .. on any of those threads .. I will challenge them. But you're going to begrudge me two posts on the SUNW thread? I only took issue with a poster's claim that there is no expense at the time of the option grant. Apparently he/she knows better than the FASB. >>Sun is a company with huge problems. Options are not one of them, it doesn't matter if the company expenses them or not. Its hard to believe that in the investing universe of issues, anybody would elevate options exposure to even incrementally significant for Sun now.<< That is a distorted presentation of what transpired on the SUNW thread IMO. The options discussion was a general one. No one mentioned anything about options at SUNW, the company. And no one .. NO ONE .. implied that SUNW options were more important than other issues, such as those revealed at the intra-quarter conference call. The root of discussion to which you object begins at #reply-17934363. Check it out for yourself. Are you actually indirectly complaining about all the options discussion on this thread? And just what is your definition of an "options-hawk"? A safe and happy holiday to all. Ron
