Fairly prices, but still a sell

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom index-linked government securities (gilt) have low yeileds, though conentional gilt yields have risen. Index-linked gilts are expensive in relation to equities and in relation to their past prices, but they may still function as a good way to save for retirement or other expenditure. Real rates of return for index-linked gilts may be better than appears since official estimates of inflation may be too high. Inflation could also occur as a result of higher petroleum costs or other cost increases, which would hit equities, though not index-linked gilts. Investors could still face problems if yields for index-linked gilts rise.

Gearing up for warrant profits

Article Abstract:

The price of stock warrants is linked to prices for underlying stocks, but holders can make greater losses and gains than direct stock holders. The capital fulcrum point (CFP) is a yardstick that shows how much growth is required from shares for investors to achieve equal capital growth from investments in either shares or warrants. CFPs can be used both for comparing share and warrant performance, and for comparing different warrants.
