Understanding options
our residents hater with multiple accounts seems to want to make an issue out of nothing so let's make sure we understand that options are a part of every company and the financial insensitive to attract respect people for important positions. First off these options are worthless unless we see the stock go higher from here. No manager or CEO CFO ect will be exercising their options for a couple dollars worth of share price appreciation. They would be looking for a large return from the current price or they wouldn't be willing to accept options as part of their compensation. These options are also usually vested over a long period of time. He or she may only be able to receive 10% of the total per year for example. It is an important policy to attract and keep their talented people. The new CEO has talked about this management incentive program and this looks to be it. The problem previously wasn't the options for employees it was the lack of ownership and interest in the company. There were very few high up's and some even on the board that held zero shares. This is much worse than allowing employees to buy more shares of the company at a certain price point. I want every person in the company to own stock even the janitor.
