There weren't that many shares in the option, and for a large portion of the time the share price has been near or bellow the option price. I took the profit when it was available. If I wanted to invest in something it wouldn't be in these shares at the option price. Previous FR share options have been good but the 2007 deal wasn't all that great!
If I wanted to start playing buy and sell on the stock market, there are many companies to chose from, why just go for FR shares just because i am an employee?
