Undated Information? edit

The final sentence indicates returns that are specific to the date that the edit was made. I suggest either removing that statement or editing it to indicate the time period associated with the quoted returns (January to November 2006, for example). -anon 137.240.136.82 20:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. I will remove that statement. Finnancier 12:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy edit

Greetings Wikipedians! I commend the contributors for their efforts. But sadly, this article lacks sufficient inline citations to reliable, verifiable sources:

  • The only inline citation pertains to the French convertible bond market, which in my view is in sufficient to support the statement made. We're talking about more than French convertibles here.
  • The Xiao paper and BarclayHedge article are not footnoted to any specific statement, so we can't tell what it's supposed to support.
  • The BarclayHedge article is anonymous and unsigned.

This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability (set forth here: Wikipedia policy on verifiability), which states: "Even if you are sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it....The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."

I hope someone will step forward to remedy this problem. If that does not happen, the unsourced material is subject to being removed. My modest qualifications for this subject, such as they are, are set forth in my user profile. Cordially,BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 10:23, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
