My 1st Arbitrage

Dear Diary,

I bought shares of AHG for $19.44 per share on August 5, 2008 for sale by September 30, 2008 at $21, an 8.01% gain in 61 days, or a 47.87% annualized gain. This is my first arbitrage ever.

HANS has been meeting all the "Holy Grail" criterion, so I should see a 100% gain from its recent selling price near $20 per share to $40 within the next 8.14 months on average. It is currently selling at $23 and change after a 30% gain in earnings announced August 8th.
