The Gypsies are crying.” It was only later that I realized what her cryptic warning meant.

People with those problems will inevitably wind up going into foreclosure. Secondly, we're going to see a whole slew of option-ARM loans reset next year. In many cases, these properties are going to be upside on the loan amount. In other words, the homes will be worth less than what's owed on the loans. The only way these loans will qualify for modifications is if the lenders took a huge principal...
