Arbitrage
    #8040831 - 02/18/08 11:13 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Over the past 6 finance courses, we have been drilled in our heads that arbitrage rarely ever exist and if we found one it would be gone in matter of seconds.

The other day I FOUND AN ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY that lasted more than a day!

I confirmed it with my finance professor!!!

w00t! Unfortunately, I can't take advantage of it because I can't write naked options and the stock is not available to short most likely...

Sigh....

you can't call people nerd's in the money matters subforum, of course we're nerds!

thats pretty cool you found some "lasting" arbitrage. hopefully next time you'll be in the position to take advantage of it.

It was found on a bond insurer.

It was last week thurs/friday

Short stock, short put, buy calls, buy bonds if you want or stick cash under mattress.

Buddy in NYC was able to short the stock...so he was able to do this. Craziness... this is what you call a market anomaly.
