Reverse Arbitrage target achieved with Hero motors

After seeing the Reverse Arbitrage opportunity in Hero motors last Thursday I have wrote a detail blog about it on 29-Aug-13. I had mentioned how to execute this arbitrage opportunity seen in the stock and an checklist before executing this trade.

Based on my analysis now 4-Sept-13 I see the Spot:1926.65 & Future:1918.25 price difference of Hero motors is covered 80 points which is almost 90% in just 4 trading days. The difference in price of Spot & Futures is 86 points last week. 

One could have made an risk-free profit of Rs:10000/lot in this trade excluding borrowing and brokerage cost.

The trade idea/strategy mentioned last week. 

Scrip Name	Buy 1 lot Sept Fut @	Sell 125 shares from demat @	Difference  (in BPS)	Gross Profit  (in Rs)	Holding Period
HEROMOTO	1886.75	1972.8	436	10752.05	Till Expiry

I am happy that my idea worked out well in reverse arbitrage strategy, this is the first time I have tried out arbitrage trade and it took off well as expected.

I request those who are reading this blog to share your comments and trade ideas, I believe we could learn more when we share our ideas.

Happy Trading

Reverse Arbitrage: Follow Up

Few things we need to perceive before executing reverse arbitrage trade,

Let's say you're gonna execute reverse arbitrage in heromotoco, 

Stock	No. of lots & Quantity	Block in capital with lender (125%)	Capital to buy 4 lots of heromoto	Total Capital	Excepted profit	Interest Rate for lending
HeroMoto	4*125= 600	(1972*600) + 25% =15 lacs	30K * 4 = 1.2lac	17.2 lacs	Spot/Future difference: 86 * 600 = 51600(3%)	depends upon the broker

So 3% gain of capital in one month period is a good money, but the really catch is borrowing cost of stock and stock going ex-dividend might erode your profit 

Things to watch out:

1. What is the borrowing cost of lending the stock(SLB) ?
2. Is the stock going ex-dividend ?

Happy Trading !

Reverse arbitrage: HeroMotoCorp

This strategy is only applicable if the futures price is comparatively cheaper to the spot price of the asset. i:e possibly the execution of the short sale should exceed the price of the futures contract and the costs associated with carrying the short position in the scrip.

For example:Let's take an scrip currently trades at Rs:100, while the one-month futures contract trades at Rs:96. In this situation, the trader or arbitrageur would initiate a short position in the scrip at @ Rs:100, and simultaneously buy the one-month futures contract at Rs:96. Upon expiry of the futures contract, the trader accepts delivery of the scrip/stock and uses it to cover the short position in the scrip/stock, thereby ensuring an arbitrageur or risk-less profit of Rs:4 excluding brokerage and taxes. 

HeroMotoCo: 


Which is trading at discount prices of Rs:86.05 in September series, which accounts for 
bps: (86.05*10000/1972.8) = 436 bps 

We can lock in the difference of 436 bps for September expiry at current prices. This will result in risk-free profit of Rs:86.05/share excluding brokerage and transaction cost.


Trade Execution:

Scrip Name	Buy 1 lot Sept Fut @	Sell 125 shares from demat @	Difference  (in BPS)	Gross Profit  (in Rs)	Holding Period
HEROMOTO	1886.75	1972.8	436	10752.05	Till Expiry

Buy 1 lot of Heromoto Sept futures @ Rs:1886.75 and sell 125 shares (demat holding) at @

RS:1972.8 Execute the arbitrage with a difference of Rs:86.05/share.

Things to watch out before executing Reverse arbitrage.

My views on Indian market now !

Reasons to Avoid Indian Market Now,

India’s equity market was sold off heavily in last few days. Many investors attribute this to fed tapering. In my view, the tapering is only the catalyst for this decline.

The root causes of this sell off are:

• Widening current account deficit.
• Increase in foreign debt.
• Increase in oil price.
• Depreciation of rupee value. 

We’re unlikely to see the decline in CAD and rupee appreciation in coming days which has reached historical heights , as export continue to decline with increase in commodity prices. 

There is an adage for this situation " If you can't stand the heat, it's advisable to leave the kitchen"

The other-way, a good investor or trader "will leave a thermometer before leaving the kitchen, so that he can re-enter once the temperature cools down and favorable to him"

Bottom Fishing: The method is just an bargain shop, during crisis many stocks will gradually and sometimes sharply loses it's substantial value.in the market. Generally this is due to the behavioral reflection of our national economy, markets like India will always bounce back. As a Investors we need to do little research to identify which stock is fundamentally strong, watching them drop and then buying them to wait to rise back again.

My advice is that, please don't try to act as an hero in this situation to save the market from falling and burn your ass, it is advisable to wait and buy stock once it is completely bottomed out and If you see some value buying in action.

Happy Investing !.
