Why? Does option expense show up on a price chart? You're actually expecting someone to look at the financials and the cash flows to determine a value and make a buy or sell decision? Come on now, be serious.

I look forward to the day options are expensed. Do you really believe that investors will sit back and allow the transfer of wealth from some to others? Once they cannot hand out options like candy, I am quite certain the excesses we see today will be reigned in.
