I though you only get paid out if it is a Topi or something like that? For normal share-warrants you have to buy the underlying share at expiry and sell the share for profit, if you snooze, you loose?

why hold a warrant to expiry, unless you expect the underlying to move up drastically (calls) or down (puts). Its less risky and often more profitable to sell a warrant when you're ahead (set a target for the underlying) coz warrants lose the most value as they approach expiry (time decay) and if the underlying moves against you, you could lose money!
