Couple of trades in my arbitrage account today. Bought 400 DDM @ $74.30 and sold 4 DDMFX at $1.75 to rake in about $700. Also bought 400 more XHB at $19.80 and sold 4 contracts XXJFT at $0.75 to rake in about $300. These two trades represent 2% and 3.8% returns respectively with each having some upside potential of another point or two.
