Stock options

[marthter]

The short answer is no.

Here is a link to "stock options" search results in Gmane's gnucash 
mailing list archives:

http://search.gmane.org/search.php?query=stock+options&group=gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.user


Apparently you can partially do it if you handle the expiry date 
manually (from Derek's post a few weeks ago):

Also, Derek explained how stock options are "promises" that you _might_ 
be able to convert to an asset, but the options themselves do not fall 
under Assets / Liabilities / Expenses / Income / Equity so GnuCash can 
not track them:

Definitely FAQ material.  I've only been following this group for 3 
weeks and it has come up 3 or 4 times.  Perhaps that is frequent enough 
to warrant a non-feature caveat on the features page 
(http://www.gnucash.org/en/features_5.phtml).


Cheers
