Spring Loading New controversy is brewing over the way companies dole out stock options, this time over the practice of granting them just days before announcing good news -- an effort to give executives a quick profit on paper. Known as "spring loading," such options grants have generated heat in recent days. While spring loading is different from "backdating," another type of options timing, corporate critics blast it as a form of insider trading. Defenders call it a legitimate form of compensation -- and their ranks include a commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission. jeffmatthewsisnotmakingthisup.blogspot.com
