Talk:Convertible bond

message: Imply vol is a common measure.  Any derivatives of an underlying can lead to a particular implied vol whic does not necessarily agree.
All implied vol means is that, given all other parameter's observation, the volatility of the underlying MUST be a certain % (i.e. the implied vol) in order to PREVENT ARBITRAGE.
Hence, in a perfect world, the implied vol of ALL derivatives must agree based on perfect info and such implied vol = actual vol of the underlying.
However, in a real world, mis-pricing of derivatives is a fact in life.  Hence when we observe the implied vol of a put option disagreeing with the implied vol of a Convertible bond, all that means is that one of the two (or both) instruments is (are) mis-priced.  And its the researchers and traders' job to find out which instrument is mis-priced by how much so as to make a profit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowabunka (talk • contribs) 15:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "Reverse convertibles are a less common variation, mostly issued synthetically. They would be opposite of the vanilla structure: the conversion price would act as a knock-in short call option"
From my understanding a Reverse convertible is a bond where you are forced to convert to equity if the price drops, thus this is a short put and not a short call, as with the short call you loose money only if the price goes up. Let me know if I am correct so that we can fix the possible error. --Mamo139 (talk) 16:45, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Types - Reverse convertibles - Possible error? 

message: Greetings Wikipedians! I commend all the contributors for their efforts. But I noticed that this article lacks inline citations to reliable, verifiable sources. The Valuation section contains only one citation, and there are none at all in the following sections:
* Types 
* Additional features
* Structure and terminology
* Markets and investor profiles
* Risk
* Uses for investors
* Uses for issuers
This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability (set forth here: Wikipedia policy on verifiability), which states: "Even if you are sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it....The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." 
I can supply some citations, and I hope someone will step forward to help me remedy this problem. If there is no further action on this, in due course the remaining unsourced material will be removed. My modest qualifications for this subject, such as they are, are set forth in my user profile.
