"If you own stocks you should at least read chapter 7: Options. I always knew that stock options were just a way for management to steal from stockholders, but the author does an execellent job of explaining this process and gives outragous examples.
Most exec's sell the stock as soon as they exercise an option so it's a lie that they are alining their interests with stockholders.
And to make it worse, the cost of these options aren't deducted from company earnings so it looks like there is no cost.
The rest of the book is about crooked auditors and management's and is interesting also."
