Yes I do agree. oh well. read a little on the "arbitrage" shite today after you brought it up...
How often do you think this happens in real life?

A perfect (meaning riskless) arbitrage? Almost never. At least not for any significant monetary amount.
The HFT trades purport to be a form of micro-amount arbitrages multiplied by massive volumes to achieve their profits.
I enjoyed the trading advantage at first but it made me feel guilty.....like I was cheating on you and the other players and I did not like that feeling. It was like getting a minute's head start on the price ticker.
I kept waiting for the prices to stay synced up but it never happened.
There were times when the prices were a half point ($.50) or more different for about 20 seconds and all I had to do was get my order input and click on submit. Guaranteed BIG profit!
It was the right thing to do for me to drop out.
