Re: Good Article
Yeah, I was wondering what the heck Al was smoking when he told everyone to go get ARM's. In a very stable interest rate environment that makes some sense because you'll get a reduction on the initial rate, and if things are stable, that should hold out for the first 4-6 crucial payment years when your payments are 90-something percent interest.
Makes absolutely no sense now, with rates at an all time low and anything BUT stability on the horizon. THAT'S when you want to lock in a fixed rate.
