I agree. There is no “OC” in LA County, which the article sites.

The Fed will keep interest rates well into negative territory, keep buying gold folks.
Those option ARMs are next. And man is it going to be ugly. So many people out there have no idea when their option ARM resets or what it will reset to.
They were just paying the minimum on an asset that “always goes up.”
Yikes. Honestly, we could lose 85% in OC.
I’ll be the first to say it. 85%.
