It looks like California might just be a good hunting grounds for sweet real estate deals in the near future.

That Business Week article is a total hatchet job and fear-mongering piece designed to sell magazines.

I never could understand the attraction of ARM's. When we refinanced to a lower rate, we went for a 15 year fixed.

Why not blame you? You've repeated the same thing for many months.

Doesn't this just prove that California is the home of millions of people who don't have any common sense when it comes to handling money?

So, 40% of 11% of the US population has unattractively refinanced mortgages?

So, in the worst-case scenario we are looking at a 4% default rate.

My, my, how frightening.

Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam.

Is spamming with links to his site okay? Or should he give us all a break?

I blame you because:

A) You wrote up the concept of wacky mortgages and faxed them to bankers across the country in the middle of the night.

B) You travel the country, like Santa, dropping enticing flyers into folks' mailboxes tauting wacky mortgages.

C)Your fleet of asynchronous satellites broadcast subliminal messages into regular television programs during prime time and the Superbowl.

D)You perform black magic ceremonies naked in your basement with live armadillos and naked loose-limbed dancing every full moon.

I have an adjustable rate mortgage, does that mean I should some how be feeling miserable right now? Cause I don't feel miserable at all. I actually feel just fine.

I am not stupid, nor am I a fool. An ARM was a good option that has saved me a lot of money. I will be moving to a new home in the next year sometime, so the new financing will be at a fixed rate before my ARM ever has a chance to adjust.

No worries for me.

This is why when I refinanced, I went with a 30-year fixed.

Let's see, all those folk who got the 'interest only' mortgages, where they were 'qualified' for houses they no way qualified for - will be left holding mortgages at the same amount they 'bought' for...but now wont be able to give away. Did I get that right?

Not all ARMs were for 1 year period. Smart bankers convinced borrowers to go for 3 year+ ARMs.

They have "limits".
