Hi Morgy
Do warrants have a marketmaker in NZ? ....No idea. I am a longterm investor,so I have little to no knowledge with warrants and option trading. I think day traders would have the best knowledge and strategies in these areas. I must confess day trading is an art form which takes a long time to master to which I am no artist, and have not the time nor the money to start trying. Woody I hear deals in short term trading, he may wish to comment.
Sorry about E=mc2. Cost accounting for me is a bit hard to put into words. Put another way, if the warrants cost nothing the DPC price has to be at least $2.30 pre warrant 2005 release. After that date the first wave of warrants ( assume all excercised) will dilute the DPC price back to $1.70 with more shares on issue. Then in 2006 wth the next wave of warrants the DPC price has to rise again up to $2.30, a repeat performance. However the present value of the todays share is vastly different to the 2006 share. $2.30 a share (2006) is hugely higher than the $2.03 share (2003), a lot more than 27cents.

Do the warrants in NZ have a marketmaker as in aussie, i.e is the warrant issuer obliged to make a market in the warrant at all times or is it demand driven. Re the numbers , sorry mate but you lost me at the first xyz/bca = q so I shan't comment on that, perhaps Snoopy may like to do some numbers there. The reason I ask is that I have learnt a good strategy for trading warrants using the marketmakers obligation to trade, albeit based on a TA setup, however it did lead me to an interest in warrants based on that fact. To moira I ask the question does this lack of obligation to trade, i.e my understanding is that there is no specialist/ market maker in options not scare the bejesus out of you. Perhaps also Woody you might like to comment on this as it is this high end that is both profitable and can be highly risky to the learner.
