i don't really understand mortgage derivatives. Like do you sell an option to write a mortgage at like 6.1 percent...and take that monies and do that like 100 times...and take that monies and like sell a mortgage..and do that like 100 more times....i don't (really)..understand this stuff...i mean seriously...whose takeing the other side of the bet when i refinance my house for the 10th time this year...and betting that housing prices not going to fall...and betting that i won't walk away from my 350K dollar mortgage if the house is only worth 275 and i got a 5K dollar prepayement penalty on my mortgage...and rates just went up and it's all gonna be adjustable now. I don't know. Where can i sell some of these mortgage derivates with the money i just borrow at 3 percent...and who the hell can make sense of it all cause my boss just got fired and they burning his computer as i speak. i think i'm gonna' move to orange county.
