O Does the warrant have a long life ahead of it? This should be on the order of (at least) 2 years and preferably much higher. It should be long enough for the value of the warrant to double. Five years is a nice time span. O The leverage factor must be at least 2:1 and preferably much higher (4:1). If there is no leverage, sell the warrant. O The stock should be very volatile or else the warrant has little chance of increasing in price. O The stock should have a potential for future growth. O The warrant should be non-callable. O The warrant should also be protected against dilution (such as a stock split). Check the certificate as there it is stated if the warrant is protected against dilution. *********************************************************************** The above material was borrowed from the following sources: ANYONE CAN MAKE A MILLION - Morton Shulman TOTAL INVESTING - Thomas J.
