Difference between a Call option and an OW Warrant ?????

Posted by: nash151 on Jun 01, 03:48

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is stupid or already discussed, but what is the difference between a call option and an opening Weekend Warrant?

Let's take the example of today's simultaneous IPO of Super 8 OW and Super 8 - $40 Call.

The call will cash out (Box office Fri-Mon minus 40) and my net gain will be that amount minus $2 if I buy the call when it is launched (launch value).

The Warrant will cost me $40 to buy at IPO and will cash out, if I am correct, (Box office Fri-Mon minus 40) (exact same as call). Difference is I won't lose the $2 that I would lose on the Call.

So what is the point of getting the call when I can get the warrant where I can spare $2?

Thank you.
