looks like options expensing is coming as early as tomorrow Tougher Accounting Rule Expected for Stock Options The legislation, written by Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-La.), would require firms to expense stock options for their top five executives only. The bill, endorsed by Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record) (D-Calif.), also would create a new method of figuring an option's cost that some critics believe would produce a misleadingly low value. story.news.yahoo.com It looks like they didn't propose a clean plan for expensing the top 5 execs, instead they had to try some additional shenanigans to protect their donors, well thats it then, I doubt this "hybrid approach" passes. Lets just get this options expensing plan done and close this issue for good.
