Arbitrage

What is Arbitrage?

It’s a risk free investment or an opportunity to set up something at zero cost, but with a guarantee to either increase value or remain at zero.

In the 1980′s, wall street bankers like Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky made the word “arbitrage” famous until they were accused of insider-trading and almost walking away with billions. Their exploits were highlighted in the book, “Den of Thieves” — it’s an interesting read if your interested in stories about Wall Street Chicanery.

However, I want to talk about arbitrage as it relates to general business ideas and other forms of income generation. Is the concept of arbitrage simply unreal? What business can one really start that has:

a) No risk {and}

b) Promises either a profit or no loss?

I’d mentioned internet marketing before, but that involves some money (you’ve got to spend $$ on the advertising) and lots of sweat equity.

Kinoo said he was looking for that one business idea that would push him into financial freedom. A lot of people say they have ideas, but just lack the money.  However, I think there a lot more people who lack idea’s. Where do you find them? I don’t know (from talking to people?) (from reading?)…..feel free to finish this thought process on your own.
