   "You can't place most telecom junk paper very attractively anymore, but you can still price most telecom convert paper," adds Jeff Seidel, director of convertible bond research at Credit Suisse First Boston. "Because the volatility of the equities has been so high, people really want the embedded option, and while there is attention to credit spreads, it's generally less rigorous because that option is there. If you've got a good story, and a volatile share, the convert market still offers attractive financing terms." In other words, high equity volatility and a closed junk market results in a busy convert market. Seidel expects that trend to continue, "whether individual issues trade well in-the-money where hedge funds can set up free put positions, or fall into the distressed category where high-yield investors will be searching for beaten-up credits that will survive."
