lizzie, there is only one way to reflect true cost - the money actually paid out at exercise time. under that method, i believe, msft was a money losing entity. they basically paid $1 in expenses to make $0.80 in earnings. they just didn't call it an expense. my guess is you don't support that. :-) how about not allowing options until the companies develop an accurate accounting method? my guess is you don't support that, either. :-) in the meantime, just keep feeding lizzie nonexpensed options for dinner. :-) i don't blame ya. you vote your self interest. but don't equate your self interest to "fair." sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. just like the rest of us - including moi!
