Here is the thing that always gets me thinking. In a capitalistic system that we have most people will do what maximizes their return. If Ryan Jones or any "Guru" out there really could do "Risk Free Trading" then would it not make sense that they would just never talk about it and JUST DO IT...

I have been trading for while and I have read about Arbitrage but I am just wondering if anyone has actually done an Arbitrage option trade?
