work for said company.

Options are a promise of a share at a set price given to staff to aid loyalty

These will usually be available to you over a period of time at a set price.

so you only profit if you stay with the company and the company goes up in value.

 

Eg as part of our annual review at previous company we were eligible to options.

 

we might be given 1000 options that vest over a 4 year period, so we had access to 250 per year. (some might be a single issue at a set date others might be over 10 years depends on time and offer.

say the issue price was 30 dollars.

in 12 months we could access 250 options at 30$

if the share price was 40$ now this was a great thing. I got 2500$

if the share price tanked and was at 20$ it was not worth excising the options and if they get to the expiry date prior to getting back over 30$ then they were worthless to us.

 

we had people who were issued options at the top of the dot com boom at 200$ plus.

 

1 year later the share price was 8$  lets just say they were never exercised.

How does one acquire said options?

 

88EO is the stock code for the current options

They can be traded just like shares, or converted into shares if you pay the 2 cents per share or whatever it is to convert

Options end in March, so steer clear.

CPH and MXC are doing well overall IMO. I don't have much invested, but good time to get in or top up I think. I also got the run in on BYE but not sure if it will go much higher, had a successful drill that goes into production in 2 months I think.

So if no one exercises their options at 2c, fair to say they ain't finding shit down the hole..

Being offered at .007 doesn't seem too promising

Few reasons people wouldn't exercise their options:

- they can't afford to. Many people spend all the investment money they can on options to maximize their leverage, so that if the company ever does take off massively they just borrow money or pour more cash in to exercise them and end up better than if they'd bought heads. Borrowing money if the company hasn't taken off yet is not very wise.

- they don't have faith in the company to come through with goods

- they haven't spent that much on options and already have heads anyway

- they forget about the expiry date

- they trade options just like shares with no intention of ever exercising them

You can still get gardening leave if you resign and are currently working on cases, depending how your firm approaches that...wouldn't be difficult to sell information to opposite counsel

don;t you just get told not come back and paid out?

Any-one with customer account info here doesn't make it back to their desk to work after a resignation letter.

 

safer that way.

 

no idea what our current non compete contracts are.

I've legacyed in from years back with a support role.

well...

 

some-one has agreed to buy a bunch of shares at 2 cents when they are trading at 2.8 cents if the people running the business don't want to purchase them..

so think to yourself why people running the business would not want to buy shares in their own company at 30% under market value.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
