I have also read that there has been a large increase in the offerings of convertibles lately. In all honesty am not sure exactly what that means, but believe it is non-creditworthy companies raising cash in the equities market? Also seems to result in large amount of shorting by hedge funds who buy the offerings.

Feel free to correct me if wrong.
