Stock options are now expensed.

Stock options cloud the picture because they don't show up properly on the income statement and the stockholders in general don't realize the dilution they cause.

Just to be clear: The Copaxone incentives we were discussing in this thread consist of shares, not options. The fair-market value of the shares is a GAAP expense item on the income statement.
