	Convertible Securities - Convertibles (Fast Answer)
		A "convertible security" is a security - usually a bond or a preferred stock - that can be converted into a different security - typically shares of the company's common stock.
		The convertible security financing arrangements might also include caps or other provisions to limit dilution (the reduction in earnings per share and proportional ownership that occurs when, for example, holders of convertible securities convert those securities into common stock).
		By contrast, in less conventional convertible security financings, the conversion ratio may be based on fluctuating market prices to determine the number of shares of common stock to be issued on conversion.

	Convertible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A convertible (sometimes called cabriolet in British English) is a car body style with a folding or retracting roof.
		Unlike a roadster, which may also have a soft folding top, a convertible has roll-up glass windows in the sides, and so the entire vehicle is "convertible" to an enclosed coupé.
		Later, convertibles were made less often, possibly due in part to an unfulfilled threat made in the mid-1970s by the United States government to increase rollover safety requirements that may have made auto manufacturers hesitant to manufacture cars that would be unsalable under those new restrictions.

	Convertible bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A convertible bond is type of bond that can be converted into shares of stock in the issuing company, usually at some pre-announced ratio.
		A convertible bond will typically have a lower coupon rate for which the holder is compensated for by the value of the holder's ability to convert the bond into shares of stock.
		A simple method for calculating the value of a convertible involves calculating the present value of future interest and principal payments at the cost of debt and adds the present value of the warrant.

		Convertible bonds and preferreds are fixed-income instruments that are exchangeable into a predetermined amount of an underlying common stock.
		Coupon rates for convertibles tend to be slightly less than their "straight" bond cousins, but investors are willing to accept the lower yield to take advantage of the potential upside gain in the common stock.
		Convertibles trading in the "mid-market" (75% - 130% of par) have, over time, captured approximately 2/3's of the stock upside and only participated in approximately 1/3 of the stock's downside.

		The new look is subtle and fitting for a convertible member of the family; the most significant design cue is the sport bar, which replaces the B-pillar and stays in place whether the top is up or down.
		The soft top and associated systems is testament to the study and work that went into the PT Cruiser Convertible, from the way the windows shift downward slightly when you open the car door to the quiet inside the cabin while driving with the top up, thanks to the three-layer top design.
