Roger. The problem with the "florless", is that most of the companies are not Marginable. Another way to play that game is to wait for the end of the conversion /dumping And go long on the stock for the ride up (see EXSO, ZCAD, and lately HVSF who bought back The debentures and forced the shorts to cover). I'm currently watching 3 small companies that sold debentures and waiting for the final stage (High volume and small move in the price - but can take up to a year to get there). Good luck Amots

<<What we need is a "robot" to continuously search>> SI posts and news releases for the word "convertible". AOL has a news profile feature that does just that. I've just added the word "convertible" to mine. P.S.....I got ESMC from someone on the Lucky's Shorts thread. I've thanked them , so I think everyone is has been credited for this windfall now. <G> Rob

Roger, Excellent idea. I'm not in the computer field but if you should find yourself inclined to write a program for one of these robots, by all means let me know! Hank

What we need is a "robot" to continuously search SI posts and news releases for the word "convertible". Roger, I gave it a go and this is what came up: techstocks.com Message 3194799 chart: 207.95.154.130 What do you think...I have no experience in this type of research...looks like a recent high flyer.
