You folks do realise you don't necessarily have to sell shares to exercise options? Or, having exercised, sell them as shares immediately?

One could envisage a situation where, for example, larger shareholders like Robert Kirby of Village Roadshow might exercise options without any thought of selling, merely to support LNU until major revenues kick in.

It's true, the options hound is out there and running ...but it needn't necessarily be viewed only as a negative.

In any case, most investors probably won't act on the options until much closer to exercise date.

No need to jump at shadows, y'all.
