Convertible Bond / 可转债

Convertible bond / 可转债 enters the wiki through vol.124.信息过载后如何保持冷静？ | 投资账复盘 as one of [[DavidWeng|大卫翁]]’s two successful recent investment cases. The source frames convertible bonds as an instrument with a clearer bond floor and equity-linked upside, making credit-risk analysis and macro judgment more central than pure price momentum.

The host says he began participating in convertible bonds in mid-2024 and built a larger position around August to September. By the source recording, he had sold roughly 70% of the position after gains of more than 30%, while keeping a smaller position because prior [[RealEstateInvestmentTrust|REIT]] experience taught him that an asset can continue into a scarcity-driven or bubble-like stage after the initial thesis is already right.

Key Claims

• Convertible bonds can fit investors who want downside reference points plus upside participation.
• The bond-floor logic does not remove credit risk; it shifts analysis toward issuer solvency, conversion terms, liquidity, and market cycle.
• A good instrument still needs exit discipline because profit, thesis correctness, and bubble participation are different questions.
• The source treats convertible bonds as better aligned with the host’s temperament than short-expiry options.
