Convertible Bond Arbitrage
I understand the precepts of convertible bond arb, but is this something an individual investor can implement relatively easily (ie. without setting up a bloomberg terminal, PB datafeeds/trading services and buying processing memory off of IBM's Big Blue supercomputer)? Can I simply create an etrade/scott-trade/whatever account, find an opportunity for convertible arb and execute? Or is this a strategy better suited for high-frequency traders/qaunt-HF guys? Where do you even buy convertible bonds?
