The RHM Warrant Survey

I'm sure many of you (even subscribers in some cases) still have many questions about warrants. Where do 'they' come from and how long have 'they' been around?

I get this questions all of the time. As confident as I am in the warrant arena, I am always amazed at the lack of knowledge among the public and professionals alike.

A few years back I had the opportunity to have dinner with Martin Weiss,  www.MoneyandMarkets.com and www.WeissResearchIssues.com to discuss my then new business, Precious Metals Warrants.

One of the first questions that Martin asked me was, "Dudley, what was the name of the service back in the 1970's that dealt with warrants?"

Of course Martin being a savvy professional already knew the answer to this question and it was a test to see the extent of my knowledge and history about warrants.

Yes, the answer was very easy for me as I actually used this service back in the 1970's myself. The RHM Warrant Survey by Sidney Fried actually dates back to the 1940's and into the early 1980's.

I have purchased as many of the books and materials as possible of Sidney's work on warrants and have incorporated many of the basics of his and several other pioneers on warrants into our Learning Center.

The concept of warrants is so simple I don't understand why investors try to make it so difficult. Think simple, think about call options. We all know about call options don't we?

As a practical matter the main difference is that warrants will trade similar to common shares, whether as call options will be traded on the Chicago Board Option Exchange, (CBOE).

The main objective of both call options and warrants is the same: to increase your leverage. The main difference is all about the Time Factor: call options are usually for measured with a life in weeks or months while warrants are measured in terms of years, and there is one warrant which does not expire until 2017. Pretty Cool!

So readers/subscribers let's always remember to keep this simple and for those new to warrants we encourage you to visit our Learning Center and discover the 'secrets' of warrants and why Martin and I love this game.
