However I can not take anything serious from an article that has its facts incorrect. FYI, the resets in Alt-A will peak in 2010 and 2011, even 2009 has more Alt A resest than 2013. 2013 has a small increase relative to 2012. However, not even close to the gigantic resets in 2010 and 2011. By 2013 the worst will have definately faded and been long gone in housing at least. I might agree with some of the points.
