Refis outnumbered purchases 27:1 at the recent peak! Holy finance bubble! That entire industry is now doing 90-95% of their transactions for entirely non-productive purposes!

Take away that refi business, and anyone that's been benefiting from it is going to lose 90% of their business. Jesus, shorting mortgage finance companies with PEs of 6 or 8 doesn't seem so ludicrous now - take away refis and their revenues could decline 90%!

Was it GM that just said half their profits came from home mortgages? That's going to just disappear someday soon.
