Didn't have time to revise my post about CPN but I had failed to realize they had obtained a premium on those debentures, rather than offering them at a discount.

So thus the floor on the stock should be around $18/share once tax loss selling has finished, which should combine with the previous two $18/share support levels that were penetrated when Moody's downgraded their debt.

So now there should be some good upside on the stock, potentially to the $25/share range, where as you state, they probably would short against an eventual conversion of the debentures.

This deal was much better (given the circumstances) for CPN than I first imagined. I was expecting a 20-25% discount.
