Ok moron I'll go over Busines 101 again for your edification. An option to by at a strike point, in this case, .70, would allow mgmt to raise funds necessary to finance future costs associatede with research, testing and product development. If you are familiar with the 529 plan for funding educational expenses, you can compare. I get a lot of laughter out of you people who get your underwear all twisted over every decsion mgmt makes. The best financial decision you could make would be to turn off your computer, walk away from this BB and come back in three years. Unfortunately you will probably continue your neurotic prose and screw this golden egg up some how.
