arbitrage

Whenever I hear the word arbitrage I think of this thing against my Dell loaded with Excel..

I used to trade arbs by hand

Then they came with that machine and are willing to take the 1 cent arbs all day and all night
 
There are mispriced securities out there every day. You can effectively do arbitrage. The reason the little guy can do this is because you are not trading in size. There are opportunities that large quant funds can't effectively take advantage of with the amount of money they must invest just to cover their costs.

The bottom line is that trading can be a full time job if you want it. But few are willing to do the hard work and stick to it long enough.

No. And neither will anyone else. Your question is answered using the, "trading can be a full time job" section of my earlier reply. :)
