Great article. From the perspective of a first hand observer of the option arm financing fiasco, I can tell you that your assertions are exactly right. Virtually all of the option arm borrowers took this product based on the artificially low payment, virtually all of the borrowers paid only the minimum payment and virtually all of the borrowers have already or will default.
