The difference between convertible bonds and shares is that
I think the difference is mainly in four aspects:
1. Input time
Stocks: It takes a lot of time to do research and fundamental analysis to select stocks. Even Buffett analyzes the company's financial report every day, and many traders have five computers on, staring at the disk every day, studying K-line and market information, but even if they stare at the market for a long time, they still lose money again and again;
Convertible bonds: As long as it is not a high-priced convertible bond, it is not necessary to stare at the computer and the market software every day, which is more suitable for investors who usually have to go to work and have no time to stare at the market.
2. Principal security
Stocks: Although there is a limit to the daily fluctuation range, in the long run, the price of stocks fluctuates greatly, especially when it falls to the bottom, and, more importantly, there is no chance to unwind for several years ... Ordinary novice investors are likely to lose confidence in the investment market here;
Convertible bonds: convertible bonds 100 yuan or less are almost guaranteed. In the long run, they are protected by debt, and the decline is limited. When they rise, they can also compete with stocks. For the veteran who is used to the skyrocketing market and familiar with various investment tools, it is a channel to seek stable income.
3. Market competition
Stock: There is a fierce multi-party game in the stock market, and the interests are different. Bankers from all walks of life try their best to save money from the pockets of retail investors, like a hungry lion. Retail investors are too weak, so the stock market is said to be "eight losses, one draw and one profit";
Convertible bonds: Convertible bonds are rare places where the interests of listed companies and individual investors are highly consistent.
4. Investment strategy
Stocks: Stocks have various investment strategies, such as "K-line detonation, bull stocks catching, dark horse shining sword". You can see relevant books that teach people to speculate in stocks in major high-speed rail bookstores. For retail investors, while paying attention to market signals and disk news, you need to control positions and buy and sell opportunities. Under the violent fluctuation of market conditions and the rendering of market sentiment, Xiaobai is easy to chase up and down.
Convertible bonds: the strategy is relatively simple, and the strategies of each family can't escape the combination of key indicators such as "price, premium and maturity income". For Xiaobai, it is only necessary to follow the rules.
Convertible bonds have the dual attributes of stocks and bonds, and are "stocks with principal guarantee" for investors. Convertible bonds have strong market appeal to investors, and its advantages are as follows:
1. Convertible bonds give investors the lowest income right.
Convertible bonds have the advantages of "the top is not capped, and the bottom can be guaranteed" for investors. When the stock price rises, investors can convert bonds into stocks and enjoy the profits brought by the stock price rise; When the stock price falls, you can enjoy the annual fixed interest income without conversion, and repay the principal when it expires.
2. The current income of convertible bonds is higher than the common stock dividend.
Investors can get regular interest income while holding convertible bonds. Usually, the current income of convertible bonds is higher than the dividend of common stocks. If not, convertible bonds will be converted into stocks soon.
3. Convertible bonds have the priority to repay than stocks.
Convertible bonds are inferior credit bonds, which have the same recourse rights as ordinary corporate bonds and long-term liabilities (bank loans) in the order of repayment, but rank behind ordinary corporate bonds, and can be given priority in repayment compared with convertible preferred stocks, preferred stocks and common stocks.
