Dew bank convertions have been my 2nd favorite method of making money in the stock market after biotech and pharma stocks. 14 years ago I had 40 different CDs and accounts in co-op banks. It was a hassle the banks were always changing and i had to get my money back a couple time when they were turned over to the state. I did have several banks convert and I made about 100% on each.There have been very few offerings during the banking crisis.I did have 2 banks convert in the last 4 years BNCL which converted about the worst time june 2007 but I still managed to buy at 10 and sell at 12.5. The most recent was OBAF which ofened at 10 a little over 1 year ago and is 14 now. This is an interesting way to make money and in the right circumstances it is very safe investment.

but prices have, in some case in the 25% range.

Dew... If you were forced to make 3-5 equity investments (in any sector, country, etc.) tomorrow with a holding period of ~3 years, what would be your top investment ideas? TIA.
