Aren't leaving the boat..They only granted options at above the share price , why do people look at options above curreent price as gouging? The sp has to rise before insiders will profit...What is the big deal here? Geez wouldn't anyone issue options to themselves if they think the sp will rise? No jr would pass that up. They all do it , even Blue chip stock ceos take bonuses with no good relults.... They do it because it's free money off shareholders ,or profits. If anyone is ticked off with these options they should invest in a GIC and not any stock,,,,, This practice goes on with any stock... Isn't great for investers, but a fact if anyone buys a share in any company..What we are looking for is good news, same as any exploration stock that we invest in, Although I.m still impatient for good news (for a change!!!!!!!!)
