Wallstreetman, It's all about making the right choice at the right time.
In my opinion, just focusing one one aspect, like a Convertible Debenture, is like "becoming impaled on one's sword". Often times you can miss out by maintaining too narrow a viewpoint. This stock is playable for profit, regardless of the CD. And I don't necessarily agree that all CDs are absolutely "toxic". At this point it is just financing.
Anyway, I wish you the Best of Luck.
If you are leaving, are you interested in transfering your moderatorship here?
