Warrant
What is it? (1) An order drawn by a payor directing its treasurer to pay a specified amount to the person named or to the bearer. It may be payable upon demand, in which case it usually circulates in the same way as a bank check; or it may be payable only out of certain revenue when and if received, in which case it does not circulate as freely.(2) A financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a specified amount of an asset at a specified price during a specified period of time. A warrant may give its holder the right to buy shares of stock, bonds, currencies, or commodities. The major difference between warrants and options is that prices for warrants are usually published with lists of the prices for the underlying assets.Added By: Tyler
