This is a problem of management not meeting up to the obligation they have to the shareholders, to PROMOTE SHAREHOLDER VALUE. Your whole argument makes a case for shareholder value as relates to traders. Sorry, but companies don't cater to traders. ALYD knows how important it is to retain top-notch employees in a sector where there is a severe shortage of people in general. The option plan is designed to do just that. Do you really think ALYD would not take such measures because it might offend traders? ALYD's entire business plan is to increase its infrastructure to handle massive amounts of code quickly and easily when it starts flowing. Should they change their plans just to inflate their eps to satisfy traders? My entire philosophy is: when the code starts flowing, ALYD will be a major beneficiary. Neither I, the people on the general Y2K thread, the industry "experts", nor ALYD have ESP. Those that understand the nature of the problem know, eventually, there is no avoiding it. Criticizing companies and investors at this stage of the game shows lack of understanding of the fundamental problem at hand. Prodding a company that just grew 36% to do more simply because the traders are getting restless is an act of desperation and frustration. ALYD does not cater to desperate and frustrated people. - Jeff
