Increasing Arbitrage between Gox and BTC-e / Bitstamp
The difference between Mt. Gox prices and those of other exchanges is becoming extreme, close to $200. I believe the Gox - Huobi arbitrage is similar.
Note the Gox price (purple area) is on a different scale to the arbitrage values. Mouse over the chart to read the price difference figures in the top left.

Here is another look at the spread between Gox and other exchanges: coinometrics.com/bitcoin/dispersion
This website shows stats on failed Bitcoin transactions from Mt. Gox: thegoxreport.com/
Finally, this chart shows highly lopsided bid to ask order depth on Mt. Gox: blockchained.com/depth_mtgox.png
For these reasons, I consider it risky / illogical to follow Mt. Gox as a leading market, no matter how their high price goes.
