Convertible Hedge investors?

An SI Board Since March 1997

Introduction Compact

I consider myself to be a expert in convertible hedge (Buying a convertible bond and short the stock). If the stock price collapse, you could make profit of 300% to 1000%; if the stock prices goes up, usually the bond interest would pay back your investment in a few years. But finding a suitable candidate is not easy. Are are anyone who are like me? Who made money in this less travelled road?
