The Value Line Electronic Convertibles Survey
Now Online Daily

Now keep abreast of the convertibles market on a daily basis with Value Line's Interactive Convertibles Survey online. Over 600 convertible bonds and preferred stocks are evaluated and ranked, where possible, using our proprietary model. Now all you have to do is logon to the Value Line web page at www.valueline.com, enter your account number as your I.D. and your default password, then go to the Electronic Convertibles section and click on the Interactive Convertibles link or Daily Convertibles link.

Search for a convertible by entering the ticker symbol of the underlying common stock, or by entering the name (or a portion thereof), then click on the submit button to get our evaluations and rankings on the convertible bonds and preferred stocks of your choice. If you prefer, you can list all convertibles by clicking on the Show All Convertibles button. On this screen, you will find the names of the convertible securities, the annual coupon rate or dividend payment, the date and year of maturity, our generic price (at the close of the previous trading day), as well as our proprietary ranks of the convertibles (as determined by our model) and the premium over conversion value based on the closing price of the convertible and its underlying common stock. In addition, our database may be sorted by clicking on any of the column headings. Click on the stock ticker for company specific news, price quote and price charts.

There is more. Select the convertible bonds or preferred stocks of interest by checking the box to the left of the ticker symbol, then click submit. On the next screen, you can view the profile of up to three convertibles without having to turn a single page and get all the data necessary for wise convertible investment decisions.

The new interactive convertibles online service is not intended to replace our weekly print version, but to present our evaluations on a more timely basis. Current subscribers need not worry. Access to our Interactive Convertibles is free, and you can still access our data in spreadsheet format in the Electronic Convertibles section. In addition, the weekly print version of the Value Line Convertibles Survey may be downloaded from our site as early as Friday afternoons for an earlier jump on the news and recommendations. Think about not having to wait on the mailman anymore.

Our Especially Recommended list will be updated with new recommendations on a daily basis, if possible. New issues will be evaluated before being priced. And since we are an independent body, without any axe to grind, our evaluations will be purely objective.

All print subscribers will have access to our online service. If you need assistance logging on, please call our software help department at (800) 654-0508, or send an e-mail to vlsoft@valueline.com. Our department will also be ready to answer any questions. Call us at (212) 907-1595, or send an e-mail to vlconv@valueline.com. The printed version will be published on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (24 times a year).
