Podcasts And Performance Shares: Content Additions Keep myStockOptions.com At The Forefront Of Stock Grant Education
Free
podcasts on the basics of stock options, restricted stock, and ESPPs
have added a fresh dimension to the educational content of
myStockOptions.com. Meanwhile, a new content section on performance
shares covers one of the fastest-growing types of stock grant.
Brookline, MA (PRWEB)
June 26, 2008 -- In its commitment to making the complex financial and
tax concepts of equity compensation easy to understand,
myStockOptions.com (http://www.mystockoptions.com) continually updates and expands its content and innovative educational tools.
A series of podcasts on the basics of stock compensation has added a
clear and concise audio portion to the site's tradition of clear and
concise writing. Meanwhile, that tradition of engaging written content
continues with a new section on the hot topic of performance shares.
Podcasts
The new podcasts on myStockOptions.com give the website's users yet
another way to learn about equity compensation. They complement other
dynamic features on myStockOptions.com, including interactive quizzes
and e-learning courses. These succinct, professionally produced
recordings are available free of charge either by streaming media
through a computer or as MP3 files which can be downloaded, saved to an
MP3 player such as an iPod, and listened to anywhere.
Presented in the form of interviews with Bruce Brumberg, the
editor-in-chief of myStockOptions.com, the first three podcasts are on
the basics of (1) stock options, (2) restricted stock and restricted
stock units, and (3) employee stock purchase plans. myStockOptions.com
intends to publish further podcasts on many topics, both basic and
advanced. Future podcasts will feature the expertise of both the
publication's staff and outside professionals.
"Podcasting adds a helpful new dimension to our educational content
and tools," observes Mr. Brumberg. "Given the complexities of stock
grants, sometimes people find the concepts easier to grasp in a spoken
explanation. In that way, our podcasts are a natural gateway to our
more in-depth content on advanced topics in taxation and financial
planning."
Performance Shares: A Fast-Growing Type Of Grant
Users of myStockOptions.com know that on the site they will find
reliable up-to-the-minute information about equity compensation.
myStockOptions.com has recently added a section on performance shares,
a type of stock grant that is (like restricted stock) now being used
for more than just senior executives. Led by the two-part article
series Performance Shares: What You Need To Know, this continually
updated section also has in-depth FAQs on the topic.
myStockOptions.com has proven credentials with anticipating trends
in stock compensation. "Back in 2002, we spotted a trend toward
broad-based grants of restricted stock among companies overloaded with
underwater stock options, and so we started adding content about
restricted stock to stay ahead of the curve," says Mr. Brumberg. "Since
then, restricted stock and RSUs have become increasingly popular. With
our new section on performance shares, we are hoping to give similar
value to our users by providing comprehensive educational content on a
type of grant that isn't yet widely covered elsewhere."
