Do arbitrage opportunities exist?

As long as there is a product that is sold at different prices across different marketplaces, there is an opportunity for arbitrage. For precious metals, the price of physical gold and paper gold (gold ETFS) can vary greatly between marketplaces. You can take advantage of this situation by buying and selling gold in different marketplaces across international lines, i.e. buying gold in London where the going price is $1243/ounce and then selling it in New York where the going price is $1250/ounce.
