wbmw, on outstanding options

but it hardly changes the results

 
 Year  Income   Shares  EPS 
 2000  $10,535  6,986   $1.57  
 2001  $1,291   6,879   $0.19  
 2002  $3,117   6,759   $0.47  
 2003  $5,641   6,621   $0.86     
 2004  $7,516   6,494   $1.17  
 2005  $8,847   6,144   $1.44 
 

So some portion of those 606 million options are still outstanding, right? Looking at the Intel graph over the last 5 years there haven't really been that many great times to cash them in. Let's say 2/3 are still outstanding. Does that not bring the final number to 6,548 if the share price does suddenly appreciate? Isn't that a somewhat different picture?

Just wondering what you or others with more insight than me (Biomaven?) make of this.
