OT ... Nitt, re "Intel's and other rational companies and people's arguments have been that we do not need to add grey to the balance sheets. " If shareholders' equity starts at $1 (per share) and the company's EPS is $0.20 for the next five years, I expect equity to have increased to $2 .. after properly discounting other effects on equity, of course. But if the company grants 5% ownership to employees each year, the equity will only be about $1.70. Therefore, I believe there is less grey if the company tells me the EPS was $0.14 per annum. Ron
