  It’s a better question to see if it meets colloquial definitions of arbitrage. It’s an advantage only a few people have, and you paid something in order to be put in that position.

    You paid to be in the plane. I doubt anyone paid specifically to be in a plane with the hope that a door would blow off to take advantage of information asymmetry in the aircraft manufacturer's stock (or the airline's stock).

  "if you are just a regular person and you go to McDonald’s and buy a burger and say “this burger tastes bad, I’m gonna short the stock,” that’s fine, that’s legitimate research. ... People are supposed to go around observing companies’ products and services, evaluating them, and incorporating those evaluations into their investment decisions. That’s how stock prices become efficient and how capital gets allocated to good uses rather than bad ones."
