Distribution of Warrants

Trenzalore

So OXY has given warrants to purchase for OXY stock holders. They have their own ticker -- OXY.WTWI and have been initially priced at 8.00 USD each. They just showed up in my account with a activity type of "Stock Dividend Due Bill".

From OXY: "You will receive 1/8th of a warrant for every share of common stock of which you are the record holder as of July 6, 2020." They will expire in 2027.

Any suggestions on how I should enter these?

Stock warrants are not supported by PortfolioSlicer - it is not clear how to track them because you might or might not buy them in the future.
You might use standard transactions types as if that you will buy these warrants.
For that , you have to figure out how do you track cost basis for them:
1. If want to reduce OXY each stock cost basis by 8$ per share, then you would enter transactions (assuming 100 shares, original cost was 15$ per share):
2020-07-06 SymbolTransferOut, OXY, Count: 100, Price: 18.21$, CostBasisOVerrride: 1500
2020-07-06 SymbolTransferIn, OXY, Count: 100, Price: 18.21$, CostBasisOverride: (1500$-(ROUND(100/8)*8$))=1500$ - 96$ = 1404$
2020-07-06 SymbolTransferIn, OXY.WTWI, Count: 100/8, Price: 8$, CostBasisOverride: $96

2. If you do not want to change cost basis for your original OXY shares, you cand the simply add SymbolTransferIn transaction for new symbol:
2020-07-06 SymbolTransferIn, OXY.WTWI, Count: 100/8, Price: 8$, CostBasisOverride: $0
