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.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
