      The article discusses convertible securities which are preferred stocks and bonds that have a convertible option added to make them more appealing to investors. The factors used in calculating the investment value of the convertible security include standard fixed-income analysis, maturity date, coupon, credit quality, yield to maturity, and call features. The convertible bond's value is stable but drops when the stock price nears zero--which usually indicates that the company is going bankrupt. The investment value of a bond is a floor value for the security in uncertain stock markets.
