WARRANTS
--------

	The prices of warrants will fall more rapidly that their
	corresponding stock issues in a market panic.

O	Does the warrant have a long life ahead of it?  This should be on
	the order of (at least) 2 years and preferably much higher.  It
	should be long enough for the value of the warrant to double.
	Five years is a nice time span.

O	The leverage factor must be at least 2:1 and preferably much
	higher (4:1).  If there is no leverage, sell the warrant.

O	The stock should be very volatile or else the warrant has little
	chance of increasing in price.

O	The stock should have a potential for future growth.

O	The warrant should be non-callable.

O	The warrant should also be protected against dilution (such as a
	stock split).  Check the certificate as there it is stated if the
	warrant is protected against dilution.
