I guess this is all a matter of perspective.
"It's a floor wax. No, it's a desert topping. It's both."

Goal: Own ~5000 shares of MIDL.

Preferred
--------------------------------------------
Buy: 96 shares of MIDLP @ $30.00
After dividend, 96 * 1.5 = 144 shares MIDLP
144 shares MIDLP * 35 common/MIDLP = 5040

Cost/share = 96 * 30 / 5040 = .571

Total initial investment: $2880

Warrants buying/exercising
---------------------------
Buy: 5040 warrants @ $.45
Exercise warrants: 5040 @ .50 = $2520

Cost/share = (5040*.45 + 5040*.50) / 5040 = .95

Total initial investment: $2268

Warrants buying/selling enough to exercising rest
--------------------------------------------------
Assume common price is $5. Warrant value should be $4.50. It may be more or less.

$2520 (to exercise 5040 warrants) / $4.50 = 560

Buy 5040+560 (5600) warrants at $.45, Sell 560 warrants to
come up with the exercise for the 5040

Cost/share (warrant at 4.50) = (5600*.45) / 5040 = .50

Total initial investment: 5600 * .45 = $2520

Realize that the warrants are currently .08 undervalued from the common. Assuming the warrants were at $.53, your average cost would be $.58. Also you will have capitol gains on the profits on the warrants you sold.

Average cost on the preferred has the advantage of being fixed, and additional dividend potential in the future.
