Warrants are tricky and most of the times investors get caught. In most cases, warrants are over-priced. As adducing from my experience of observing style of price movements, warrants usually move faster than mother shares. That is how investors might get caught when they buy the warrants when price of mother share dropped and when price of mother share up, price of warrants are not moving and this is particularly so when warrants are going to expire. But advantage of warrants is with small capital, you can invest in a blue chip and conversion at later times when you have enough capital and the price of mother share is worthy to convert. However, i will not prefer those warrants on 'cash settlement' basis and with maturity date in less than a year (so called the called warrants). These called warrants are alike casino type and terms and conditions are in favor of the issuance banks and should not be promoted in Bursa. Note : just my own opinion only without prejudice to relevant parties.
Bukan saja waran yg menjunam teruk tetapi mother pun semua hancur .skg cuma cari peluang terbaik utk dpt balik untung dgn ambil peluang bila trend waran menaik di lain masa..semua pelabur terbakar skg.
Jon, one suggestion as a topic for your next article.....
try to explain what is your justification for having portfolios with 2% capital on a particular stock?
you have almost 2% on every stock...thats like a portfolio consisting 50 stocks!
and if you have 2% on stock X and 2% on stock Y...does that mean your confidence/knowledge or mismatch between your IV calculated vs Price (safety margins) the same on each?
My number one stock is 33%. Number 2 is 20%. Then a few is 3-10%.
Top 3 is 60% of portfolio.
Those below 3% or 2% or less.
Is those where i think its a good buy, but i'm not as confident, and still thinking, or building up position.
Or one of the great net asset plays. Were i usually buy 1% to start, than average down up to another 2% in stages, say 0.5%, 0.5% etc. Usually i keep a maximum of 2-3% in one individual net asset play, unless its fantastic, than maybe abit more.
There are like 10 or so of them, which make up more than 25% of portfolio.
These days, don't average down so much, because everything is so cheap. Too many other options.
Here is an extract on diversification i really like.

If a warrant has high premium, does that mean the market expect the mother share to have high probability of going up. My thought on warrants trading at discount is that mother share might be overvalued. What do u think Jon?
I'm probably just as inexperienced as you, but lets try and learn together.
Alot of it depends on the market sentiment i guess. If its a bull market, it could be that people expect the price of the mother to further go up.
If its a bear market, the mother may have fallen too fast for the warrant to catch up, or the mother have fallen below conversion price.
If there's a discount, chances is its overvalued. But some warrants, if you got the time, you can go and buy it, convert it and sell the shares. The process however takes sometime and cost a certain amount, so, it may not tighten as fast.
But alot of time, if there's a discount, its often because its not within the general radar as well. GAMUDA-WR back in the day fell in that category, before OTB and some others raised attention to it.

FIRST, investors should never invest all their investment capital in warrants.
Generally, we do not advise them to invest more than 10 per cent of their total investment capital in warrants due to the high-risk and high-return nature of warrants.
Retirees should also not use retirement funds needed to maintain their lifestyle to invest in warrants, as they generally have a lower risk tolerance.
Investors should also be disciplined about taking profits and cutting losses
Stop lar please, while your so called investment cant even make you money and you still at there fucking people up about investing and trading.
Look where is your petron now? Where is MBMR now.....still sustaining....dont you feel ashame when you scolded Commonsense for frying share la this la that lar........
want contribute idea, u contribute but dont at there act professor yet cant beat to market. tell me hornestly this year hw much return u made...
............................................... Choivo Capital: Depends if you're investing or trading i guess.
Layhong warrant for example, i really like it, so as it falls, ill buy more, but in stages and not more than 3-4% of portfolio.
U never live that long to go thru bad yrs such as 1998 asia financial crisis i dont think you have to right to even ask people it depend on whether u r investing or trading...seen too much of people like you back in the days. lecturing me NTA ROC....at the end what happen? sold sunway at the bottom and now never come bck to share market anymore.
kid u nvr been thru things lidat u better shut the fuck up, i think if that happen again in the furture u the first one to run.
