You're only addressing the balance sheet. This is an income statement issue. I'm tempted to say if you understood investing in corporations you'd realize that, since you took a shot at me, but I'll refrain. <g> JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)

OT ... Duke, re "Let's say that your corporation has 10 shares. If your corporation made 12 dollars, had no other expenses, and gave your employees each one stock, it would still have and be worth 12 dollars. Your stock, however, would be worth only 10 dollars and not twelve and there stock would be worth 1 dollar each. It does not matter whether they sell their stock or not. If you paid them a dollar apiece instead of stock, your stock would STILL be worth 10 dollars. (12 less the 2 dollars you paid them)" That's a darn good example of why stock grants are expensed. But what's that got to do with expensing options? Ron
