Hello Michael, allow me to take a stab at your warrant question.

When the common stock is at $4/share. You can expect the warrant to trade around $2.00-2.25/share range, which is one half the stock price up until the common stock reaches $8.00/share. Once the stock is over $8/share, the warrants should "theoretically" trade at around $4/share and continue to trail the stock by $4/share (ie. if stock is $24/share,warrants should be $20/share, etc.) However since a warrant can be construed as an option on AIPN common stock, the trading in the warrants can be very heated if investors anticipate a fast moving common stock price, therefore it is very possible the warrants could trail the stock by less than $4/share maybe as low as $2/share. I have seen it happen many times.

Another aspect that attracts many investors to warrants is the fact that warrants allow for greater % gains if the general direction of the common is up. For example, Let's say you buy 1,000 warrants at today's closing ASK of $1.56/warrant (keep in mind also that the common stock closed at $3.375/ASK. If the common stock goes to $10/share and you hold the warrants, the warrants should be worth AT LEAST $6/share (possibly more as I explained earlier). If that is the case then you had a gain of AT LEAST 285% on the Warrants( 1.56 to 6.00) and the common stock only went up 196%( from 3.375 to 10/share).

Hope that simple explanation helped.

TOO ALL: whatever happened to all the naysayers that were BUZZING around our thread? Looks like my fly-swatter worked real well.

Looks like we might get a gap-up opening tomorrow. I keep on hearing the word AMOCO from some of my trader friends but who knows?

Congrats to all the patient and resilient investors
Juan
