RE: NROk Im a little rusty on stock options. Where did these options come from. Are they justed created out of thin air for the benefit of an insider??? Not a good time to be doing this. Can you clarify these stock options for an old school investor who has been away for awhile and has only returned to the markets feb/08. I have a bid in on Ithaca. I see oil at $43 a barrell as the time to buy oil stocks just want to make sure its a company that can last the downturn without running out of money first. Thanks for any insight.
