We have to maintain the FR theme that anyone who got an ARM is an idiot who deserves whatever bad thing happens to them. /s

ARM’s are bad option whenever the interest rates are at 30 to 40 year lows. Guess which way they will go?

The only problem with people taking that blame-game tack is that no less a personage than Alan Greenspan urged Americans to take out ARMs in Feb. 2004.

I understand they even have interest-only mortgages available?

Well, calling everyone that takes an ARM "an idiot" is a bit
too sweeping.
But, while waiting in the doctor's office this morning, I read
a "Money" magazine article on ARMs.
The investor (in Florida) they interviewed said he'd made a killing
via ARMs. And that people who take out ARMs are "idiots".

I was a bit suprised that someone making $$$ off the product would
slam the buyers so directly.
