TMT, well, yes and no.
I have no problem with your analysis concerning options versus salary, provided they are commensurate - which in this case they are, but I'm rather old fashioned and don't like seeing executives receiving excess rewards until such time as a company is fully established, profitable and has attained it's goals. And, despite the stellar success thus far, and don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with what's happening, we are not yet fully-fledged.
Too many CEOs are over-compensated (I'm not saying GH is, in fact, he isn't) and the stench of people like the crook Rob Terry and the sleeze ball Parsons, hangs over this market and one has to be tread carefully as a result. (I'm not in any way comparing GH with those two, btw)
I couldn't be happier with what GH has achieved thus far, but I find retaining a sense of caution is always helpful whilst investing in small companies.
This is obviously just my opinion and I know others feel very differently.
