Thanks Amy, I do not take issue with anything you have stated. Over the years we have been led to believe that earnings and stock options are unrelated. That is at least what Intel management would like us to believe and that might be why they claim that they cannot expense them. In the last few years Intel has been busy buying back stocks using earnings to keep the level of stock shares somewhat constant. Those "brains" should be able to figure out the cost of stock options; many investors don't have any problems understanding the dilution problem. 54% of Intel stockholders think it is time for honest accounting. * I bit of a rehash, but it emphasizes the absurdity of the stock option program that us "dumb" Intel stockholders are paying for. The question is: Does the Intel board of officers and directors have a fiduciary responsibility to their stockholders? You might answer, “Yes they do!” I now ask: “ Would it not have been more honest to the Intel shareholders if a $30,000,000 check had been written directly to Mr. Dunlap and sent with a $5 Hallmark card?” Please don’t object to the $5 card – certainly a bit extravagant, but so was your gift! You might have gotten mad if the direct route had been followed! Instead they fooled you! You were asleep! Now you know why the Intel board doesn’t want to expense stock options. They will try to continue fooling you, cause they think you are slow or dumb! Just trying to eradicate the scum we have on earth. You are the major stockholders of Intel – I am only a lightweight that has seen the light! …humble carl This question needs to be hammered in - repeated - ponder this question when you close your eyes to go to sleep and count sheep. You might even give the sheep names. Be innovative ... The question is: Does the Intel board of officers and directors have a fiduciary responsibility to their stockholders?
