World Savings underwrites arm refinance loans primarily in California and Florida. They need to originate over $4 billion per month or their balance sheet will contract. A contracting balance sheet and shrinking interest margin will devastate earnings. I don't care about idolizing Marion and Herb. They have gotten very aggressive with 1.75% teaser rate pay option arm loans. That doesn't sound like conservate underwriting to me. We are in an unprecedented real estate bubble. A company with $115 billion worth of mortgage loans backed by Florida and California real estate is at risk. I don't care the Herb and Marion know the names of people with fixed rate loans.
