Sounds like you're rationalizing the behavior of Wave's management.

"An individual investor likely has a diverse portfolio of shares and the option holdings are but a smallish amount of his portfolio and net worth. Further, his job is not tied to the company and its shares. For that person to buy and hold does not change his risk profile by much nor is it likely that the AMT can cause him significant financial hardship or professional embarrassment."
