The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.  Le monde est radicalement différent maintenant. Car l'homme tient dans ses mains de mortel le pouvoir d'abolir toutes les formes de pauvreté humaine

And of what consequence is it what kind of death puts an end to life, since he who has died once is not forced to go through the same ordeal a second time? And as in the daily casualties of life every man is, as it were, threatened

We propose a specic concept of arbitrage for such portfolios and extend some results of Rásonyi [Rásonyi 10] in discrete time for markets with proportional transaction costs. This allows to show the closedness property and corollaries such as portfolio optimization problem or a super-hedging theorem. We then study such portfolios with nancial possibilities in continuous time, with or without frictions. This framework is mostly motivated by Denis & Kabanov [Denis 11b]. We prove here the same closedness
