RE:anyone heard of "warrant stripping"????

I didn't get any valid feedback... :(

From what I understand, "warrant stripping" is done by big brokerages. What they do is buy the units from an IPO or private placement when the units consist of both a common share and a warrant. If they are convinced the price of the common shares will go up, they sell the common share at par or at a profit ... which means they have the warrants for free... and then hold onto the warrants to be exercised at a later date when the price of the stock is up.

I think this may be what is going on with UEX.

There were 72 million units issued in the past private placement in September of last year. The units were rpiced at $0.29. The units consisted of one common share and one half warrant to purchase a common share at $0.40. Recall that Sprott led this PP.

So the BIg Boys got a whole whack of UEX shares at a very reasonable $0.29 which they have been selling off into the market. They aren't selling them in one go, because that would drive the stock price down. So they are "feathering" them out in small bits. That may be what the single board lot trades are all about. They don't need to let the price go up at this point in time as anything over $0.29 is "gravy". They will still have the $0.40 warrants in hand which they can exercise up until September 2024.The weaker hands may have exercised some of these warrants and sold at something a bit over $0.40... because just want to make their bit of profit, but I think most are likely holding onto those warrants. Once all the selling of the $0.29 shares is done (72 million shares!!!) they will let it fly and then cash in with their warrants. I stress again that Sprott led the PP deal... and they have set a target price of $1.15 on UEX. It all makes sense to me and explains this rut around $0.40.

Thoughts??

Serious comments only puleez!
