Ah, well, buying the warrants on dips would be another story.

However, at current levels, it just doesn't make much sense to buy the warrants over the stock...if you're going to take the risk of buying a limited-lifetime equity over the common stock, you ought to receive superior leverage. If you can get in at .31, obviously the story changes.

I use the Black-Scholes equation (and another, more accurate method that factors in parameters like the call provision) as comparative devices. I compare the actual values to the predicted values and sort through 500 or so warrants accordingly. Jmarw is one of the few (less than 5%) of American warrants that actually trade below their Black-Scholes value.

Valuation methods are just another tool in the toolbag. I know from experience that over-reliance on mathematical methods can get you in a lot of trouble in the investing world. However, with the exception of batsw and jmarw, all the warrants in your list trade considerably below their Black-Scholes values...certainly no coincidence.
