Stock Options:
A stock option is a right to purchase a company’s stock for a
specified price in the future no matter what the stock is selling for at the
time. Some new companies offer stock
options to certain employees as a part of their benefit package. The objective is to give the holder of the
option more incentive to increase the profitability of the company thus
increasing the value of the company’s stock and the stock options. Obviously this strategy can work for
publicly traded companies or companies that intend to go public in the near future
but it is of little value for closely held corporations. Usually the company will purchase or retain
it’s own shares of stock at the market value in order to permit the holder of
the option to buy the shares at the previous price and sell the shares at the
current market value which should have increased in over the period of time
the stock was being held by the company. GO TOP
