Spread trading with IT pair.
There is one of the best examples for spread trading (or pair trading). It comes from IT stocks, Intel (INTC) and AMD. Basically this kind of trading is convenient if market is unpredictable. Stocks can go up, down or sideways. You are going long with your favourite one and going short with worse company. The whole idea is that your laggard will always drop more than your favourite and in the same meaning for bullish trend.
