To-be-CFA Warrants are issued by the corporations.
GBolt93 Would a corporation also not want to issue a warrant if it expected the underlying stock price to rise?
Rm178234 A is also false. Stock needs to be above the warrant exercise price in order to be exercised.
Haoran @Rm178234: they don't have to be above exercise price to be executed. The owner will not make money though.
