Pairs Trading

I know it has been asked before, but has anyone had first-hand experience with pairs trading? I've just become interested in this style, and figure this slow summer is the perfect time to look into it.


Any info is appreciated...

Dustin,

I have heard quite a bit of talk about pair trading lately. Trying to find out some more information. Here is a site that might be of some interest to you but I couldn't find a heck of a lot of information. http://www.market-topology.com Here are a couple of decent "pair trading" ideas that were on that site though:

FNM - FRE

EIX - PCG

NE - RDC

ABX - NEM

MER - MWD

RTharp,

I think the GE/HON trade would be referred to as a spread trade, no? Bright does a lot of spread trading (ie GE/HON).

rtharp,

that's interesting...how bad of a hit did they take??? i imagine a few were on the long side as well and made a bundle. live by the sword, die by the sword.
