actual ex post (employee stock option) "expense" on an intrinsic value net return basis for QCOM over the past 7 years would have, imo, VASTLY exceeded what Black-Scholes ex ante expense calculated. this is a foregone conclusion since QCOM rose MANY MANY times over.

I agree.

OT .. Darfot, re "actual ex post "expense" on an intrinsic value net return basis for QCOM over the past 7 years would have, imo, VASTLY exceeded what Black-Scholes ex ante expense calculated."

Many believe the *actual* expense is what you call the forecasted ("ex-ante") expense. That includes the FASB as evidenced by the SFAS 123 "fair value method". Of course, they might change their stance this time around .. but I doubt it.
