Quote from bone:

I have three ET members who recently joined up who are experienced equity pairs and stat arb types - one is a phD who was on Morgan Stanley's desk long ago. The idea is to re-orient their sexuality from convergence to divergence.

Yes, do sell "Divergence is the New Convergence" story now that C. no longer works. What if the science behing spread trading was only valid as long as C. worked...?

Easy - look at any weighted yield curve spread trade over the past few years ( post 2006); unbelievably great trend trade (taken on divergence in the spread).
