Lizzie, Don't make this into a bigger deal than it is. First, let's see how the vote goes. If the shareholders vote to expense options, management will do it. They aren't going to quit over something like this, believe me. In fact, knowing Intel, they will probably come up with a system (if necessary) that will end up becoming standard for expensing options. Everyone who follows a company's financials at all understands the employee options part of the financial picture. Intel doesn't hide anything, they footnote it currently. I'm sure if they have to expense options, there will be another footnote to explain the expensing. Such a tempest in a teapot. This market is recovering while the options bashers fiddle away. Amazing! Anything to see your words on a CRT, I suppose.

Some info on what can and can't be brought as a shareholder resolution: scn.org I think there is a disconnect between how some of us view public companies. Some of us think that the shareholders, as owners and the risk takers, should be the ultimate decision makers when it comes to important issues. Others of us believe that the company is more autonomous, that the shareholders are just along for the ride; if they don't like the way management operates, they can and should vote with their feet. I think the two opposing views will play out in financial politics over the next decade. John
