Just putting this out there for anyone that can help me, i would really appreciate it. I have scanned the web and can't find historical (1 month, 3 month etc) forward exchange rates for free. I have a dissertation on the subject and the only data i could find were from the Bank of England (which only had the option of USD/GBP), but i need more currencies. If you can help, please do
yeah - it's surely all about timing - if this guy fell of his bike he might spend the night in hospital by which time there may be a glut in market 1. He could also simply fall off his bike and the apples would get bruised!! It's a good example of exploiting price differentials but surely time is thew risk factor?
This and two other finance videos are the only ones I've "gotten" in terms of understanding. My friend is a broker, and he explained this and the two about simple & complex interest.
Unfortunately, he's not always here and he won't help me w/ world trade exchange rates, b/c he doesn't like talking about it.
You just crack up my friend whenever you say 'it's a fancy word, but a simple idea.'
He has one of those FINRA things. IDK exactly what they're called. But I never even heard of the word until he showed me a card and said it means he's registered as a financial advisor. I just don't remember what FINRA stands for.
I knew when he told me, though, b/c he defined every letter; but I only remember the first two for financial institute.

Awesome, this is very clear. Thanks Sal. I have an exam coming up on a Harvard case. This will help me to crack the arbitrage related questions.

I wouldn't call it risk free. DEA is getting good at detecting heroin hiding spots.

thanks for this explanation! It's clear to see now one of the ways which the current system allows for manipulation for profit

We learned about this in econ 101 and I never could grasp it - it makes so much sense now though, thanks Khan!
