Just to be clear, I'm not asking just to gripe about funding difficulties. I see a huge differential, and I would like to know what strategies are being used to arbitrage the difference. Is there something an everyday Joe can do, or do you have to be in finance? I am interested in the economics of the situation. I'm not an economist, but as far as I am aware, it is unusual to have two regions with a common currency and labor market, to have such a large differential in economic conditions. It's like if oranges sold for $1 in Florida and $10 in Minnesota, and nobody was shipping oranges. I figure someone has to be making money on the difference - how?
