Zeev, I must confess I haven't analyzed your posts in great detail, especially since you are a latecomer to this thread, but if you use the mortgage analogy, someone could similarly do homeowners a great service by posting warnings that many who failed to make their payments have lost their homes due to foreclosure.

I don't know if you have the percentages for all financial arrangements that involve convertable preferred. Perhaps 5% of these companies fail and perhaps 2% of homeowners lose their homes due to foreclosure. As you know, I am on record as having estimated Valence's chances of failure at less that 0.2%.

Since you have specialized in such warnings, you may have a better idea of what percentage of companies financed this way actually have failed. If so, could you give us the percentages rather than just naming a few examples?
