I'm not interested in arguing about whether options are real expenses anymore which is all that this comes down to, and I don't care about Warren Buffett's opinion, UNLESS he creates something from scratch and gets it off the ground (in other words he actually CREATES wealth like an entrepreneur is supposed to do).. and comes up with a solution based on his successful experience. Shareholder/owners want performance whether they are investing in a tech company or a steel company. Very naive way to look at growth industries. BTW I posted an article on Google so how about spinning some cycles on coming up with a Google solution. Or ask Buffett to come up with how to handle Google- and determine whether this company is doing a "good job" according to your metrics. LOL. Not too long ago, you said no one can argue with expensing stock options at exercise. More wordsmithing. We don't have a solution to the new company/IPO situation which was Siebel. I was talking about 20 year old companies like Cisco when I made that statement. Don't bother "plugging in" numbers into anything, your metrics were unknown during the time period you want to apply them to- kindof like trying to judge how to pay the top athlete in the draft based on their performance in high school when they didn't know they were on display.
