zy, Your even dumber that i thought. If u hedge against the amd bond with an amd stock short u have a pure interst play, and plenty of exposure to the up side potential reduced further by transactional cost of the short. Why would in good consence would u want to be a holder if u thought the bond would default. were default to occure u get no interest, and the bond would fall in price much faster than the underliying stock given it's already compressed value. The princilple reason for an interst bearing investment is preservation of capital, your stratgedy has you looking to loose going in. hence real dumb play. Shurly, if you used your mind for once you might come up with something more productive. keep in tough and let us know when you have.
