Arbitrage is a concept that you should learn more
about. Its a word that circulates in financial circles and is
therefore obscured to the average person as just some odd french
word that the stock market people use.
The truth is that arbitrage is the single biggest
idea about wealth that you should understand. Doing an arbitrage
deal is literally this........If I offered you 70 cents for your
crisp clean dollar note would you take the deal? What if you had
$100,000 and I had $75,000 and I said look, let me deposit this
money into your account in exchange for your money? Straight swap.
How would you feel about that?
Well I imagine you'd say no. I wouldn't blame
you, its hardly a fair deal. Arbitraguers do this all day long. But
this is the difference.
We deal in value and perceptions not numerical
currency like cash. Or we deal wholesale and sell retail. There are
hundreds of ways that I can swap my 70 cents for somebody elses
dollar.
The wealthy have practiced arbitrage for as long
as currency existed because arbitrage is the secret road to wealth.
A secret that will never be openly talked about because it is so
tightly held. My little contribution here will do nothing to change
that balance, but consider yourself fortunate to learn about this
and maybe it will spurr you on to a new life.
Here is a real world example of arbitrage that I
practiced many years ago, when I was starting out broke, dejected,
but hopeful.
It wasnt long ago but seems like centuries ago.
Its pre-history now. One form of arbitrage is the concept of
economies of scale. This arbitrage strategy relies on a single fact.
An irrefutable reality about fiscal life on the planet earth. Here
it is. When you buy something (of anything) in bulk, you are
entitled to and more often then not get a very large discount on
your purchase. When this bulk amount is "split up" and re-sold in
traditional more popular chunks, your investment will return a
decent profit.
So here is a get rich quick idea. One you can use
right now to establish an income stream to replace your daily job.
It can be reproduced and systemized to manufacture a very healthy
income indeed.
When you look at newspaper and local journal
price lists, you will notice they are very yielding to this concept
of economies of scale. Simply a small ad may cost $140 for example.
But buy a full page and you only pay say $900. Why? because its less
work for the publication. Well my idea was to start a weekly page
called "Martins Market" I approached 200 business owners face to
face and told them they can get a small ad in my one page spread
"Martins Market" for just $90 a full $50 cheaper then if they bought
their ad from the paper directly. Do you think this offer interested
a good percentage of the business owners I approached? You bet! Not
only that, but they got a further discount if they paid up 6 months
in advance.
I could fit 40 ads of that size onto my page.
Being filled up, I made $3600 every week for an outlay of $900 for
the page. I added value with nice graphics and the page got quite
well recieved as my clients reported good returns from their ads.
This was reproduced 20 times around the country, with 2 sales staff
for every "Martins Market" I was netting close to $20,000 per week
for a fairly lengthy period.
You will need a few dollars to try this, but its
inevitable that if you do your research properly you can make this
work and get exactly the same results.
My very best to you
