ZRSCF Stock warrants

A stock warrant is just like a stock option because it gives you the right to purchase a company's stock at a specific price and at a specific date.

Companies issue stock warrants to raise money. A stock warrant is a way for a company to raise money through equity (stocks). A stock warrant is a smart way to own shares of a company because a warrant usually is offered at a price lower than that of a stock option. The longest term for an option is two to three years, while a stock warrant can last for up to 15 years. So, in many cases, a stock warrant can prove to be a better investment than a stock option if mid- to long-term investments are what you seek.
