Does anyone use a variation of the forex carry trade concept with stocks

  1. Hello,

    Interested if anyone uses the forex carry trade concept with stocks.

    Maybe find a correlated pair?

    Short the low yield stock, buy the higher yield stock?

    Gain an edge possibly?

    What about doing this with US stocks and Foreign ADRs?

    Bonds?

    It's a fairly common strategy. Simplest form you can go long dividend select spiders and short the futures against it. It's something that you can make arbitrarily complex - you can go down to sectors or what not.

    There is a number of interesting things to do around dividends.
     
  3. Thank You SLE,

    Do you mind sharing some of the dividend ideas?
