Default Re: Interest Rates gamble - 30 yr. fixed vs. 5-year ARM\'s

Unless you can predict interest rates better then the market it shouldnt matter assuming the probability at any point in time you move is the same as the average person(i.e if you move more they variable less then fixed). That being said most hedge funds that do this sort of thing are betting that the yield curve flattens so maybe a variable would be better, but in the end the market is pretty effeceint so it really shouldnt matter.
