Yes, you did, shamfucker. Marking mistakes is something you are very prone to do, especially when it comes to economics. Your inability to match up countries and currencies is but one example. Then there is this rambling nonsense:
Arbitrage doesn't require a common currency. It happens right now everyday with multiple currencies. And if some countries try to artificially over- or under-value their exchange rates, it only creates MORE opportunities for arbitraguers to exploit!
And Pakistan's per capita income isn't anywhere near the $9800 level you cite. Estimates vary, but even the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics puts it at around $1500. So you are off by a factor of 6X, you sloppy retard.

And before you try to save face by claiming that only makes your point stronger - it doesn't. The fact that the US uses a single currency hasn't reduced the income disparities that you and your fellow libtard dems keep fulminating about. Per capita income varies widely among the Eurozone countries too - even though they share the same currency. So once again, your "point" is invalid and not very well thought out.
On the bright side, this means as long as your skills don't slip when it comes to delivering your behind-the-dumpster services at Tallywackers, you and woomby don't need to worry about losing your jobs to the Pakis down the street working the dumpster behind the 7-11!

In fact, from what I said, it is quite obvious that I am talking about COMMODITY arbitrage. See below:
If you're implementing a uniform currency then that means the price of goods everywhere will be the same,*.

Can you move a house from west Texas and sell it in California? No. Christ, use your fucking brain for once.*
The price of something, like a car, excluding transportation and taxation costs, will be very similar in Texas and California. It's a theoretically and empirically proven economic theory.

What it implies in this situation is that two goods, priced in U.S dollars, will have to be the exact same price, excluding transportation, taxation differences, and also using the perfect market assumption. A Camry in Pakistan, excluding transportation, taxation, and the assuming availability of full price information to every customer in the world, should cost the same in the U.S and the same in Pakistan.
Now, there are a couple ways you could have jumped from that arbitrage to ASSuming I meant currency arbitrage. Here’s the most likely theory: You have, absolutely, NO.fucking.idea what you’re talking about. You googled arbitrage and it popped up with the most common practiced form: currency. You spent an hour reading it and then spewed your bullshit onto this hooker board.
Another point which further illustrates your massive ignorance. Anyone, with even the tiniest grasp of economics, understands the concepts of long run vs the short run. FFS, they tell you that in introductory macro theory.
Here’s what I said:
, (otherwise everyone will engage in a process called arbitrage, which can not exist in the long run).*.

No arbitrage opportunity exists. There is a reason why China has the biggest Dollar reserves of any foreign country.
The fact that you don’t even know the difference between the long run and the short run, is precisely why I think you are the biggest fraud on this forum. You pretend to come in here with a few buzzwords and a lot of huff-puff, but anyone with even a slightly trained eye can see that you are nothing but a fucking poser (ofcourse, that excludes most of your idiot buttboys).
Is your ass reamed out yet? Well, I’m not done.

Pakistan’s GDP per capita in nominal terms might be $1500, but in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) it is exactly 9800(or was, in 2013).
Now ask yourself this: when discussing cross-country arbitrage, which index would you use?
The nominal one, which represents the amount of actual dollars? OR, the PPP index which equates the price of goods all across the world and represents the amount of purchasing power that nominal GDP/capita ($1500) actually holds in Pakistan($9800). Even the fact that I have to explain this to you demonstrates your complete lack of ANY education on the subject.
Go back to what I said above: you are nothing but a fucking fraud. I have no idea why you have to pretend to be something you’re not, on a hooker board, no less. No one gives a fuck. Just make those corny jokes like Reytard does and leave it at that. Your post was so laughably childish that I had to clean my desk from all the coffee I just spit on it. Seriously, find something better to do with all your spare time.
