Stock options is what is used to reward and incentive for good performance to bring shareholder profit. NOT to take the company away from the initial investors and give it to someone who is buying the company using the back door. Selling shares at a imaginary under valued shareprice IS NOT in the best interest of the company or previous shareholders. We would be better off keeping the float of shares low and waiting out the government and FNs without spending on crazy loan shark interest rates. I feel like my nose is getting bent, and my arm is twisted up my back.
