Introduction Compact

Welcome! Do you want to discuss employee stock options to your hearts content? On a generic basis? With specific numbers for specific companies? Hopefully, this will become the place for you to be for those discussions.

Moving Here? If you are moving a discussion here, you must use "Post Message" (in this window) for the initial post. Please include a link to the post to which you are replying, e.g.: "To John Doe, in reply to Message 17579691

Getting John Doe's permission to reply here is recommended.

Topics: The theme is employee stock options, non-qualified (NQSOs), incentive (ISOs), and whatever else may be out there. Anything and everything related to this theme is on-topic.

When a post is off-topic, PLEASE be courteous to others and put an "OT" or "Off-topic" somewhere, preferably at the beginning of the very first line.

Religious and political posts are strongly discouraged. Discussions of these topics can become too emotional too quickly. An exception, of course, is a political post related to options, e.g., current Senate bill S.1940.

Opinions: Expression of opinions is encouraged. It is opinions that reveals our personalities, and lets us learn the personalities of others.

However, it is important to express our opinions respectfully. It is imperative to respect the opinions of others. The golden rule definitely applies here.

Fact versus Opinion: Assume people will take what you say as factual. If it is opinion, please be reasonably sure the reader will know it is. If in doubt, use a JMHO, IMHO, or IMO where appropriate.

Recommended Reading: Please PM me or post with recommendations.

*Learn a lot! Enjoy the thread! And have fun here!*

**************
Why Moderated? It's a safety valve, as well as a choice a thread starter must make. Hopefully, I will never have to use its power.

However, I intend to assist SI in enforcing their terms of use (TOU). Especially, I will not tolerate obscenity or profanity, and particularly, when it is directed at another in a personal manner. I will also not likely tolerate a person's continual personal attacks, even if obscenity and profanity are not used.
