I am copying and pasting from another area of forum as I hope someone can shed some info about this?
I own some shares of Federal Mogul (yes I bought them below .50). Fed Mog is currently renegotiating its chapter 11 filing, as far as I understand. To get to the point...
quote: Current shareholders are slated to get warrants under Federal-Mogul's Chapter 11 plan. Existing shares will be canceled.
Is this a good thing? Will I get an equal value of what my shares are? As I understand, a warrant gives my new shares when the company re-organizes.
Do other people make out when they are issued warrants?
Thanks

Evertime I got a warrant, I had to be bailed outa Jail. LOL

Depends on the warrants terms. Last ones I had were good to buy the new stock at a specified price for so long.

Deluxe, I really don't mind being made a joke of in fun, but do not ever make fun of my alcholic Pot smoking Iguana when she is off on a bender!!!

OK, enough is enough.. Lets get back on Topic about Warrent's, in all honesty they're is plenty I would like to learn about them..

me, too, Dusty--tried to jump-start this topic a while back...guess no one knows

Dustoff101/BuyTex,
I bought warrants once and got burned because they expired, that was back when I started trading and knew nothing about doing DD. I learned the hard way. After that I just stuck to big board and penny stocks. Never had an interest in learning warrants and options trading. Good luck with your findings.

grrr..I thought you guys were experts. Anyhows, here's what I found out...
"For example, a company emerging from bankruptcy with its new stock value at $10 per share may issue five-year warrants with an exercise price of $30 per share. There is nothing to be gained by the holders exercising these warrants and buying the stock for $30 per share when they can buy it on the market for $10. But if the stock price happens to reach $40 per share before the five years is out, it would make sense to exercise the warrants at $30 per share and then sell the stocks on the market for $40, if desired"
That's the best explanation I can find. Guess I will have to email Fed Mogul and try to find out what terms of the warrants they will issue.

Zenith, If that the case, then warrants are not worth the risk. Using your findings as an example, you would be over paying by 200% for a chance to make 25%. JMO. Have good night. -Deluxer

DOH!...we can read--lol, was asking about real-time experience...we've made dough playing warrants as runners.
Was asking Dusty et al about the underlying fundamentals, with the implication toward big-board plays....sorry for any confusion.
