Options not an expense...
I would like someone to explain to me how giving someone the right to buy stock from a general pool at a certain price is an expense for a company. Expenses are items that take away from gross revenues to produce the companies net, like power bills, salaries, and equipment purchases. Stock options have no effect on this bottom line.
