yeah I'm for real John, and shareholders are not dictating whether or not Intel or anybody expenses options, are you under the impression that that is the case? As a shareholder you only have a few choices, you can take your money and walk, or you can initiate a vote of some sort to change some operations issue, but current mgmt doesn't have to accept it and if you impose some lunacy they will just quit. If you are an angel investor you must know this.

Last time I looked , the shareholders are voting whether or not to expense stock options. If the shareholders decide not to do so, then Intel won't expense stock options (nor should they) for as long as shareholders have a choice in the matter. However, if the shareholders vote to expense stock options, then the board must find a management team willing to live by this decision. apparently not. Apple Computer said Tuesday that despite a shareholder vote urging the Cupertino computer maker to expense options,* it will wait until a final standard is adopted by FASB.* siliconvalley.com
