15788 Det er vel snart lige så sikkert som amen i kirken med uddeling af optioner.
Tilsyneladende gør de involverede ikke noget for at få prisen op ned i den fobindelse (endnu) og flere gange har lav kurs også bevirket at de ikke er udnyttet. Ved fortsat lav kurs er der således ikke tab for andre aktionærer, men vi er jo inde fordi den mindst bør fordobles på få år og firedobles på 3-5 år og så er der jo røget noget af vores gevinst.
Det er dog psykologisk træls at se på halvstore uddelinger, når kursen ikke bevæger sig positivt.
