High-Yield Investment Programs & Arbitrage


Whenever a discussion on investment strategies is undertaken, sooner or later someone brings up the subject of arbitrage.  Most people hear the word and think of the character Gordon Gekko out of the movie Wall Street and immediately have visions of empire... and vast banking and wealth conspiracies... and arbitrageurs like T. Boone Pickens and the infamous Hunt brothers.  The reality is a bit different.

Arbitrage Explained...

  • With respect to investments in securities, arbitrage exists whenever and wherever there are market inefficiencies, as arbitrage "works" to correct market inefficiencies.  Once the market becomes efficient (selling price offer and buying price bids closely match one another), the arbitrage opportunity no longer exists and the trader moves on to the next opportunity area.  The current subjective risk elements that plague the stock market exchanges serve to continually create inefficiencies that allow for this type of investment manipulation and security speculation.

  • Think of arbitrage as a traffic jam.  A traffic jam is an extreme example of an inefficient operation of highways and motorists respond by constantly switching from the slow moving lane to the faster moving lanes seeking to keep moving at optimum speed.  When the traffic jam is cleared, the "traffic arbitrage" game is over - until the next traffic jam is encountered and then the game starts over.  The same is true with security investment arbitrage - when the difference between the offered sale price of a security (or commodity) and the bid price to buy that same security is great enough, the arbitrageur steps in and takes a middleman position until the price gap closes to a point where the arbitrageur can no longer make a substantive profit on buying and reselling the security of commodity.

  • Day trading is the most extreme example of high-risk arbitrage in that most day traders are assuming that excess market capacity exists for trading of a given security and they are literally betting on the change of a given security's price within the course of a single day (up or down) where no pre-existing market inefficiency is found.
