I wish there was a way to short junk bonds but there is not.

Couldn't you short a high yield CEF? ....and then go broke paying the dividend.

I want to short all those godd*mn convertibles that got issued. They pay like 2% for a call on some junk stock. Yeah, *that's* a smart choice. <s>

Didn't one of them actually issue a *negative* interest rate convertible? Seems like I railed about it when it happened...

Anybody know how to short that crap?
