No I ruthlessly arbed it .. long the skf and when I found that the faz was not updating in time i shorted many more faz....I got SKF at 8% under and could sell the faz much better.

In general I am no more long the short stuff..save for a few select days. As suggested some times, banks will show good 1st quarters and rallye accordingly. thereafter it gets hairy.

What I have, is a decent bull spread on FAS which appears to make me money as FAS rose past the first strike price, $4. The price for those spreads was nearly nothing.

I am trying some cross-sector arb between SRS (-5%) and SKF/FAZ (-16%) by going long FAZ and shorting SRS

This also works great!

Whoa... WFC rocket ride +30% now!

Looks like FAZ and FAS will kiss each other at 10....(or 9)

Financials arb sightings.

FAZ trade up to 11.20 (+6%),
FAS traded through 8.60 (-1.7%)
SKF 67.25 (+3%)
UYG 3.44 (-1.15%)

C traded at 3.20 but fades now.

etc...

with most of the etfs at the drill bit level it gets less efficient but still there´s "random buying" by the less informed.

good business to all.

There´s more:

FAZ 11.16 (+6%), UYG 3.42 (-1.15%) you eat what you kill.
