Greenspan is talking about stock options right now. He said that he thought that options should be charged to company earnings. They gave a couple of examples but Yahoo was the one that caught my eye. If stock options were charged to earnings as an expense, Yahoo would have went from making $70M in 2000 to losing $1.2B. If they change this policy and make options charged to earnings, then earnings for a lot of different companies will be severely affected.
