<<Swamp dog, I was speaking if you own either one share of stock: say BWR stock versus one BWR stock wt. Both would have approximately the same upside (as the wts are so deep in the money), but if the company went bankrupt one would lose approximately 1/2 with the wt that they would have lost with the stock. They only paid one half.

Because BWR wts are so far in the money time deterioration is almost negligible, at this point. If one puts the same amount of money into the BWR wts they get 2 to 1 leverage, so they will make twice as much if the stock continues upoward. For the same investment dollars.>>

Again you're not being consistent, you're touting leverage while dismissing SwamppDog's concerns about leverage.

Swampp Dog is correct, if you're buying something for the leverage, you simply lose all your money quicker. Your point about not losing as much money is true because you DONT leverage.

Looking at the warrants value using a proper model is a different discussion than leverage... which can be obtained in a number of ways, including simply margin in your account.
