Never heard of a Pubco having to outsource the annualized volatility calculation for Black Scholes to AON or Watson. I prefer options to restricted stock. 4 month hold periods aren't an issue but nothing beats a shit load of at the money 5-year options. Though restricted stock + warrants is a nice mix of both and Flow faster to my bank account.

You are saying your firm(s) didn't use a benefits consultant? Beginning to suspect your story.
What story? That consultants get options? I'm based on Canada and deal mostly only with Canadian Pubcos. I never mentioned Taxation once. what your suggesting doesn't make sense. Why would a company go through the expense of hiring this "benefits consultant"? If you think thousands of pubcos are hiring a benefits consultant to figure out volatility number for their stock, then you're on crack.
Why comment on the thread if you don't know the answer or can't help? It just clutters it up. I'm not a quant or desire to be and doesn't see anything in filings that give you the inputs they used. Filings just show Black Scholes formula was used. Like I said before, I will bug a buddy with the knowledge. I just attempted to use a forum first. Thank you and have a nice day sir.
Okay. Thanks man I get it in now. It was just a confusing layout because when you said "Add Study" it was actually indicator. And HV 365, i just assumed the number is percentage and input field was relating to days. I really appreciate it!!!
