Arbitrage Quote by Richard Chandler
“The market gives you the opportunity to arbitrage what the emotional investor will pay or sell at versus the fundamental value of a company, but you've got to pull the trigger promptly without hesitating. We've disciplined ourselves mentally and prepared ourselves in terms of information, as well as relationships with brokers, to do that.”
