ok so if the FASB doesn't require expensing in the future, are you saying you won't blame Chambers and the "tech lobby"? (somehow I doubt that) <gg> Chambers has a larger audience than you and I .. but he has no more authority than you and I .. when it comes to the option expensing issue. You know what I think.... there is one company that speaks louder wrt options than Cisco, Dell, or anyone. Guess who it is....... (Google)

rkral,.> Chambers has a larger audience than you and I .. but he has no more authority than you and I .. when it comes to the option expensing issue. Mr. Chambers, and Cisco, will end doing pretty much what the FASB says they must do. And if the U.S. Congress doesn't interfere again, the FASB will mandate option expensing IMHO.< Except that Chambers and CSCO give large amounts of $$$$ to current and future campaigns. Candidates help those who help them. Paul Regards, Ron
