Arbitrage #5 and #6

Dear Diary,

In Arbitrage #5, I just bought shares of BUD for $59.89 per share with an expectation of a close on the Imbev deal by 12-31-08 for $70 a share, a 17% gain over 76 days, or an annualized gain of 81.64%.

I also picked up in Arbitrage #6 shares of ROH for $69.64 with a expectation of close by 1-1-09 for $78 a share, a 12% gain over a 77 day holding period, for an annualized gain of 56.88%.
