Sanzen, You comments Re-the Arbitrage gain are valid when you consider 1. time value of money 2. opportunity costs. In general, arbitrage is some what a (less reward)/(less risk) investment position. However, if you initiate the arbitrage position at the same time via your broker, the margin requirement should be much less b/c the boxing effect. In Boston View's case, if he already owns Stratus and is planning to take the profit now or upon completion of this merger; an arbitrage position would provide approx. $1 1/2 additional profit per share. I am new in this type of strategy/discussion; so feel free to correct me.
