I always thought most convertible holders short stocks when the price is above the conversion price. I remember in the case of APM, they had a bunch of convertibles at $18 and when the stock hit $60, those holders shorted against the box., locking in $42 of profit. The stock was hammered mercilessly after that. They covered at like 10, got their profit and still held the convertibles. Since TNRG conversion price is $3, isn't this problem quite a ways off? TG
