Repurchase Agreement

This is a form of short-term borrowing for dealers in government securities. The dealer sells the government securities to investers, usually on an overnight basis, and buys them back the following day.

For the party selling the security (and agreeing to repurchase it in the future) it is a repo; for the party on the other end of the transaction, (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the future) it is a reverse repurchase agreement.

Repos are classified as a money-market instrument. They are usually used to raise short-term capital.

The simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset in order to profit from a difference in the price. This usually takes places on different exchanges or marketplaces.

Here's an example of arbitrage: Say a domestic stock also trades on a foreign exchange in another country, where it hasn't adjusted for the constantly changing exchange rate. A trader purchases the stock where it is undervalued and short seels the stock where it is overvalued, this profiting from the difference. Arbitrage is recommended for experienced investors only.
