What is Arbitrage?

I've been receiving an unusually large number of e-mails lately. I love hearing from my readers, so please continue to send me your questions. I'm behind a little, so I'll try to get to your mail in the next day or two if I haven't responded yet.

In today's article "What is Arbitrage?", I answer the questions: "What is arbitrage? What markets do arbitrageurs usually trade on?" There is surprisingly little information on the internet on this important topic in economics, so I hope this helps fill the void.
