My understanding is that if you've held the warrants themselves for 18 months and SELL them (as opposed to converting them), then yes, it's a long term gain. Of course it would have been a much larger long term gain if you had sold them yesterday, or even better, last week.

Understand, however, that I am neither a lawyer nor an accountant.

my understanding is that if you convert then into shares of stock u have not sold them so that there are no tax implications until u sell them, but that when you do the period you held the warrants will be tken into account... that's how I think it works... but i'm from the uk so u had better check
