It is my opinion that expensing stock options would help Intel, its employees and shareholders in the long run, as well as other tech companies that have strong underlying core businesses. Intel's internal performance was quite good for a great many years without options representing a high percentage of earnings had they been expensed. I think Intel could eventually return to this "performance model", (although I would not expect Intel's growth rate to be able match what it accomplished when it was a younger company and the PC market was a nascent industry). Let the capital flow to the legitimate performers, a group for which Intel can belong to. JMO, Huey

RE:"You, Carl, and others like you failed to obey the first law of investing in the market (or in Las Vegas, for that matter)" I don't believe that I have ever mentioned my Tech investment no. of shares. I have mentioned my largest holdings are Oil stocks. I do admit the executive over-compenstation has irked me for years. Now every one but those in the fold can see it. Even some of the Intel diehards are no starting to see it. I think that I echo the majority of the Investors out there. Whenever, these elitists cash in the investors just get madder and madder. Now, personally I could care less but for the affect of all this on the psychology of the market.
