...the beauty of options at share holders expense,..happy capitalism.To-days market managers are very selective when investing in junior CP and management is usually first cosideration.To-days mining boom has created a windfall for those that have the expertise to apply for these position's .Iwas recently at a party ( pension ) for a colleague who officially had four hrs off before he started his next job,,he had three offers in which two were from Asia ( big bucks ).To-days Company's can go bankrupt at any time and the employee is usually at the bottom of the payout after yrs of court ty-ups,i will take my options unvested thank you, or pay them as a bonus for production quotas and in the case of a take over all options if vested will be paid out along with one yrs salary. enjoy your day Traps7
