[In addition, some money managers have come to believe that options have not lived up to their billing. The idea was that options would align top executives' interests with those of the shareholders. But they also give executives incentive to use questionable techniques to lift the stock -- often a short-term boost so they can cash out.] The trouble with options, ... is that they allow management to get rich even if shareholders do lousy.

We don't hide behind the fact that stock options may be available. They are a very common compensation incentive to align management interest.

Stock options are a red herring, ... The issue is excessive compensation for executives in whatever currency is used -- stock, money, apartments and whatever else.

As companies continue to expense their stock options, we expect to see a growing number of companies embrace other forms of incentives for their executives, such as performance-based stock. Although the vehicles may change, the goal of keeping executives motivated and engaged while effectively tying their pay to performance is as important as ever.

We are troubled by the continuing decrease of the value of our investments in the company and are pleased that management and the board of directors are considering steps to stem the loss of shareholder value, ... However, as long-term investors, we want to be assured that the options are being considered to promote growth and stability in the long-term, and not simply to produce a short-term boost in the stock price.

Senior executives may find themselves facing decisions other pre-retirees don't need to consider. For instance, they may have a large portion of their net worth invested in employer stock and still feel strong ties to that employer. And for former executives who have a great deal of their net worth tied up in stock options, this can pose a dilemma: how can they balance their need to diversify with their desire to maintain involvement with the company and benefit from its future success?

We look for managers who have enjoyed a great year and produced strong long-term performance. In addition, we want managers who put shareholders first and invest with conviction. The 2002 winners we selected have all these qualities. Not all of them made money during the bear market, but they were able to keep losses small, enabling shareholders to endure the difficult market conditions of the past few years.

What we heard from the union negotiating team as well as individual pilots is that they didn't like the stock options part of the wage package. They are concerned about bottom line take-home pay. They didn't see that stock options helped them with that. We tried to address that concern by rearranging the deal, adding more of a structural wage increase in the package in exchange for the stock options.

Unrealized gains on stock options are one of the best indicators of pay- for-performance sensitivity. Despite the occasional anomaly, both shareholders and boards should be pleased by the strong correlation between an executive's pay and how well - or poorly - a company's stock performs.

This is the best hope that the investor community has today, ... This is the first time that a group made up of this type of individuals has come out for expensing stock options and curbs on the excessive compensation executives have been receiving.
