Over the 20 year + stock downward SpiralYGR have massively burned their stockholders over the years by issiuing large quantities of options . These either expire worthless or are excercised at a low price like we just see. Then they are replaced by more dilutive options. For people getting options it is a free riskless ride with no capital to put up and less mental committement than a person that buys stock with their own money.
