Can Women Understand Stock Options?

from the what-a-stupid-question dept

I saw this article on CNBC yesterday suggesting that women have difficulty understanding stock options. I almost posted it with some discussion of how incredibly stupid it was, but chose not to.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    You know, it's no fun trolling when nobody bites. :(

    Well, maybe it's because you suck at trolls...

    (If trolling doesn't work, how about pure flamebate?). :)
