I recommend you read yesterday's WSJ article "Short-Sale Ban Wallops Convertible-Bond Market" It might serve you in both my forthcoming exam (it falls under the Bond Classification subject) and the derivatives class.
Make sure you understand the claim regarding who issues such bonds and the statement that 75% of convertible bondholders also go short on the stock of the bond-issuing company. Obviously, without knowing what a short sale is, this article will make no sense to you. So if you are a bit hazy about this sale, look it up on the Internet.
