Is there any way you could be more irrelevant, choosing to line up Sebl vs. Intel? My point is that there are some companies who appear to be using employee stock options in a manner that still leaves something for shareholders while other companies like SEBL seem to be nothing more than stock option machines, with business performance grossly overstated. And even though SEBL slowed down on the grant rate last year, they have a horrendous stock option overhang going forward, triple that of the average tech company last time I looked. Companies cannot even grow profits consistently at 21% per year, let alone support a 21% per year average stock option grant rate. #reply-18490090 How many years do you think we should give SEBL before we should expect them to make a good return from internal business performance on paid in capital? They already have eight years with no real profits and seem to be stalling out on sales growth now. Regards, Huey
