My guess is that after huge refi explosion in 2003 this industry has too much capacity, too much competition
and therefore much lower margins. WM with it's bloated structure has lost to more nimble, aggressive players.

Example. In Sunday LA Times Washington Mutual Beverly Hills branch advertised 1.25% ARM loan. How can they make money if they lend for 1.25%?
