Investopedia explains Call Warrant
A warrant is similar to an option, the main difference is that warrants are issued by a company attempting to raise capital.

My father owns AirAsia, and today I asked him if he knows about AirAsia-CG and he said he has no idea. And he also doesn't know if the AirAsia-CG is allotted into his account or not. So, from skid's explanation of this has nothing to do with AirAsia.... then when exercising the warrants, who takes the cash? Isn't it AirAsia?

What's the difference between this AirAsia warrants and YTLPower warrants? I've read about YTLP holders talking about waiting for their next warrants cos of high yield/capital gain. So my question is, if warrants are not allocated to the shareholders in the first place... then how does these people buy the warrants at such high discount to the market price?

FTSE 100 currently @ 4937... 63more points to break 5,000 points...
-European Confidence In Economy Is 10 Months High

US: Bull 3 - Bear 0
-Consumer Spending Up In July (mainly boosted by $ for Clunkers Program)
-Intel Increases 3rd Qtr forecasts
-Dell's numbers show PC Industry staggering back

how do we differentiate a "bull run" from a "bear rally" ? 

YTLP is warrant, not call warrant. Call warrant I assume is raise by company like CIMB, OSK (The listing should have it) who needs extra cash, but the performance of the CW is based on AirAsia stock. Correct me if I'm wrong

For me, I rather not spend my time thinking bull run or bear rally. Just buy as long as I feel the price is right. As long as earn money, then it is good.

ok..... now i'm more confused than ever.

I'm lazy to search klse news. You tell me the links on the call warrant, then maybe can give you the details. As long as remember those warrant starts with W, related with mothershare, start with C, tarak relationship

Is call warrant the same as call option? If yes, then I understand the difference between warrant and call warrant.
Why Malaysians like to confuse people by using "warrant" in both of them? why not just call one warrant and the other option?

hahahaha. just want to tell you that your time has not gone to waste. that faq/guide is great. thanks for taking the time and effort to compile such a faq/guide. if you ever come to the lyn gathering organized by aurora, we should all lift you up and throw you in the air 

Alamak! Throw me wait land in dustbin how? 

Thanks. Will try to complete it one day. Now busy with my transfer.

Anyway, there's a link that aurora97 gave a few days back : http://www.nagawarrants.com/home.html

Recently launched by Kenanga, really good website on warrants. I was telling him that I wouldn't have done the guide on warrants if the website came out earlier. 

Kmarc, I realise that if you do your own guide, you tend to learn more about the subject. Especially a public guide. So I think it's good for you. As a learning experience anyway. Keep it up. 

DJIA pre-open looking solid. Bull on rampage.

Where is Gen. Bear? Hide in the cave?

Everyone have their own approach, you need to build one yourself.

Before that, ask yourself, what kind of investor you are?

- daytrader/scalper - quick in, quick out, daily or settle the next day
- short term trader : self define, either 1-2 weeks or more
- mid-term trader : longer period than short term trader, may wait for dividend, bonuses etc
- long-term trader : hardly look into portfolio, visit once in a while.

Currently, PE, ROE makes no difference in the price movements. A loss company share can skyrocket better than profitable company.
Not in Malaysia but US Market also. Take Dell for example: Announced lower that street estimate profit but the share jumped 5 % to $16.50

Thanks. I'm short~mid-term trader, and currently trying to apply FA with TA.
