Subject: Re: considering coat tailing OXY
Back to OXY, do you guys buy the warrant or the stock?
The warrant is cheap, without 0 premium and providing leverage (though losing the dividend). However my question is when the warrant expires in 2027, if I exercise the warrant, will tax will be due immediately or will I be able to keep rolling forward the potential long term capital gain?
Based on previous discussions, it seems for US investors tax will be due immediately upon warrant exercise. In that case, would it make more sense to hold the stock instead?
