To continue the discussion. Companies issue options also..often, in fact. Yes, there are derivative options purchased and sold on the open market for some companies, written by other than the company. But...in general...a warrant, a LEAP (long term equity instrument), and an option...all have one thing in common...they are instruments that confer the OPTION, but not the obligation, to exercise the right to convert into stock at a given (strike) price. Hence..I call them all options...with the main difference being in the time frame in which they can be exercised (utilized). Generally.. regular options..around one year or less LEAPs..one to two years Warrants..one to five years..or longer. I offer this to new investors..not you..you obviously know the similarity...who might not know what these things are.
