By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 19 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.29 million of 15.3% annualized reverse convertible notes due Jan. 23, 2008 linked to an equally weighted basket of stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying stocks are Joy Global Inc., Indymac Bancorp, Inc., Western Refining, Inc. and Energy Conversion Devices, Inc.

Interest is payable monthly.
