this whole thread is bullshit

ok you fooled me! i thought you were being serious trying to do this with all the screenshots, was wondering how you would do it differently doesnt seem like there are much wiggle room to do anything.. still would be interesting to see atticus blowup or not trading this way! even if it was demo :D

man never put down more than the minimal 20%(to avoid pmi) with the rates the way they are now. anything more is just crazy.

There is nothing wrong with doing ARM vs 30 yr fixed to save some coins initially as long as your time horizon makes sense. It's only a problem for the retards who dont know what ARM is but signs up for it and get themselves into trouble, but that's just financial darwinism at work like...

Why are they forced to buy sprint? they may not be the biggest but they are doing pretty well with fios, the new iphone, and rolling out lte 4g, and a good reputation as the best carrier in the us.

so the only major carrier left without an iphone will be sprint? owned..
