What is stopping the mortgage companies from offering to convert all the arms to 30 fixed loans at 4% interest. 2 things.
1. They sold all the loans already.
2. Fed Funds rate is 5.25% so if they borrowed at 5.25 to lend at 4 they'd lose their shirts.

Exactly!!! It is not as many claim to easy the pain but it is about unloading the paper. This train wreck is going to happen, nothing can stop it now.

That will also be news to all those investors, some retired, who bought CMOs...their contract is about to be violated.
