Correct! I bought warrants and did the research. I fully intend to exercise them at some point, then not sell the stock for over a year afterwards, so I get long term capital gains. No one would buy warrants if they always were treated as regular income, regardless of how long you held the stock after exercising the warrants. Well, some people might that have them in 401K's or IRA's, as then it doesn't matter anyway about the gains on a stock. However, in my case it is money not in a 401K or an IRA.

It is a personal decision to buy or not buy warrants, but flat out advising people to not buy warrants or buy stock is just wrong. Everyone should do their own DD. In my case I decided the risk was worth it to get a bit more leverage out of the limited funds i had now to add some more holdings at a low price. I bought some more shares too, i bought a mix of shares and warrants since VERB has been on NASDAQ. It added some to my holdings, although not a huge percent.
