RWK: Warrants and options are not the equivalent of holding the same number of shares.

If you are given warrants and options and do not exercise them, they expire worthlessly. And it has cost you no money.

Not so with shares. If you plunk down X amt of money to buy shares, and the share price is down by say 50% at the time of the sale--the real loss is 50% of the cost of the shares, plus commissions to get in and out.

Player is correct, IMO.
