What does underwater mean in some empolyees' stock options are underwater?

There are two basic kinds of options: the kind you get as part of your pay, and the kind you invest in. "Underwater" refers to the first kind, and it just means the strike price of the option is higher than the market price of the stock--hence worthless, since if you were holding an option on Acme at 28, and Acme was selling at 25, you certainly wouldn't exercise an option that would cause you to lose $3 per share! Options bought as investments that are in similar straits are called "out of the money."

Stock options basically a priveledge that is sold by one party to another that allows them to buy or sell stock. It is not an obligation by the buyer to sell, they can if they choose to sell upon the agreed on price.

What do you mean redistributable? For what it's worth, stock options do not usually grant the owner the right to dividends or other equity-related income.

Preferred stock as opposed to ordinary stock is treated preferentially (hence the name) when it comes to paying out any dividends. Therefore such stock options, when exercised, can become a significant part of your remuneration, but bear in mind that in exercising these options you link your personal fortune more closely to your company than your contract of employment might specify.

presume you mean "back date"... like back dating stock options. Questionable and sometimes illegal process of claiming in the present that something (like the granting of stock options to executives) actually occurred at an earlier time than it did.

According to Optiontradingpedia.com, "A stock option is a contract that gives the buyer the "right" or "power", but not the "obligation", to exercise the contract on or before a fixed future date (the exercise date or expiration) to trade the underlying stock at an agreed price." Essentially, it is a trading instrument that gives you leverage if used purely for speculation and protection if used as a hedge. The various options strategies that can be made using options also gives traders a precise mean of trading almost every outlook on a stock.
