Well Joe turnip is not only running out of lies but running out of ways to lie. KJP has mastered the art of both. She's also gullible enough, so when Joe leaves, she's a fall guy.
That's a very good realistic run down of where things stand! Well put, and I agree.
Karine Jean Pierre just got promoted to the senior advisor to President Biden and we thought that things couldn’t get worse.
In this context the main problem with Trump is that he is, for all practical POLITICAL purposes, a D.C. outsider. As such, when going to pick advisers, people to fill the plethora of cabinet, administrative, other leadership and secretary of this and that roles, he had no choice but to rely on advice of those he believed trustworthy. There is NEVER much time to get a government built after an election unless you are a D.C. insider. Although he likely had final say on both Mnuchin and Calabria it would have been difficult at the time to predict the future of their actions - you have to start somewhere. Mnuchin played a tricky game until the end and Calabria is just a plain no real experience government policy wonk who knew he was going to and needed to stay D.C. connected long after Trump was gone - even if he did get second term.
A further problem is with the Republican party: the number of RINOs, those who seek to enrich themselves, and many other flavors and shades of globalists, neocons, etc. They are not nearly as united as the Democrat party - especially when it comes to backing a leader making decision. The Democrats are all in line with the globalist order with a playbook that almost none of them deviate from whereas Republicans are all over the place.
The hope we have with a Trump admin is that he is aware of the situation, has previous progress in attempting to put a plan together, has allies who want some kind of "release or privatization," there is at least a facade of capital being built organically by the company which offsets some of the wrong-headed narrative about the twins, time will run out on the warrants if not extended (which I think will be difficult to pull-off with a Trump admin in place), and finally, Trump now knows where some of the land mines are buried and, more importantly, who many of the rat bastards are.
This guarantees us NOTHING, but given what we've seen over the past decade-and-a-half a Trump admin is the best we have to hope for at this point.
Agree 110%. Just like the bankruptcy garbage that the pref holders were pushing, all fake nonsense. I believe the capital rule will be reduced, that is the key. Once they announce that, there will be rapid fire release plans and announcements that will follow that. Trump says he has people looking at it, and I bet they are structuring a solid plan. I just hope he doesn't have Mnuchin or Calabria involved at all. He needs fresh non-deepstate eyes on release. With Elon Musk appointed to audit the governement, that should provide enough distraction for all the crooks in DC to get their houses (committee's) in order while his team fixes housing and the twins. It's always the plans within plans, that no one foresee's, that provide the most fair outcomes.
Yeah Louie, I have friends that have been crippled and paralyzed along with a few that have been killed in the last 10 years. It’s tough to see the crosses on the roads! Good people all!!
Pagliara and the Biden admin really let Bradford down about coming in to save the day 😆😆🤣 ... so he's been super quiet after those bad predictions he let loose on the board.
I would NOT put it past the government hacks to try and attempt a massive cramdown but I don't think it would go their way in a court challenge and as long as Ackman is hanging around I would count on that court challenge to come.
On the other hand I have a sneaking suspicion that the gov (aka TSY, FHFA) knows they can only get away with the what they are doing while we are in c'ship because there hasn't been any proper challenges to what they've done - so they continue to act this way until such time as the capital build, a proper capital rule, housing needs, and the warrant expiration nears as for it all to become obvious that the c'ship should end. Unless they can get consensus in Congress to ruin us - which I do NOT think can happen then it's just a matter of time for us to come out on top. But I abhor this prolonged torture.
Can you beleive the people running this site got rid of the American flag Emoji? That should tell you all you need to know.
I always thought someone is playing with FNMAS pref??? It seems to be it's the one most watched for pref movement. Bradford doesn't post anymore about cram downs and other fantasies, have you noticed? I said a long ways back, that as capital builds that Pref dream of reverse splits, 1,000 commons for 1 pref and all that other nonsense would be a ship that has sailed, and it has. so, I guess all those pref posters, except for a couple stragglers (manwithnobrain and KThomp the out of context master) have all disappeared. You don't hear much about Pagliara, just a few nonsense Fb posts by Mr. Irrelevant Calabria, who happens to be FFFFFreakfacts bedroom pin-up.
Trump took his biggest lead against Harris since she entered the race on the political betting platform Polymarket.
Trump: 53.4%
Harris: 45.6%
America and FnF shareholders need this momentum to continue.
looks like some rotation into the preferreds is taking place today ... lots of selling on the common side, preferreds up by similar percentages ... not as concerned when I see this ... usual action is common buyers come in at the end of the day when commons are down ...
Sorry to hear that. At a traffic light, first thing I press nowadays is the horn. It used to be the gas pedal but morons are morons using their phones. They can’t multitask, holding phone, looking forward, pressing gas, talking and steering has become an impossibility for the idiots…
Viking, I agree with your phone assessment. MIchigan has a law now for hands free, but hardly anyone is following it and I don't think police are enforcing it. During rush hours (3pm-6pm) You can find many on phones, it's got to be very frustrating getting home now a days with many stopped at lights playing away with a text msg. I'm retired for 7 years now, and every year since retiring I've seen the phone stuff get worse and worse. Folks on bikes really do play with fire due to all the distraction. It was bad enough for bikers before the the phones, now it's terrible.
I haven’t seen him in a long time but seems when people I’ve know pass away, I lose a piece of my past. No parents, no aunts and uncles, cousins and neighbors starting to go. Does make u stop and think. Sorry to say there are a couple of lost generations out there, I’m hoping up and coming, and the Millennials preserve our freedoms before we are gone.
I guess I don’t mind that when I changed States a few years ago that they messed up and didn’t add my motorcycle designation. No temptations to risk it anymore. Seems everyone is on the phone or in their basement in the internet, many on gov dime, it’s messed up.
...Oh my! I'm so sorry to hear about such a tragic accident. 🙏
Trunk, I’m sorry to hear about your friend. Riding any bike these days is like Russian roulette with three rounds in the cylinder. The amount of traffic and drivers watching their phones more than the roads is ridiculous! I’ve lost a few friends and acquaintances while they were riding bikes in the past few years.
Just had a childhood neighbor, die in a motor cycle accident in Cicero this week, he has been riding for over 50 years. It must be insane up there, Steve was an expert rider and knew every road in CNY and Adirondacks. I saw a picture on his Facebook of his boat, its still in working order cause its the same one I water skied behind over 35 years ago. He was a true motor head. I think Mt Pleasant area should be pretty quite while in Mi. Its a Mad Mad world
>>>Syracuse is waiting for Micron to break ground-but has been delayed (ZZZzzz) Yet the Oneida Nation with Turning Stone casino has broke their ground with adding more resorts/hotels and it's shown to be more of a fact than the "Fakeron" industry. Plus, gotta love the Interstate project going through the city...Every day there's an auto accident. And the sanctuary build-up for those ones who are displaced from their "former" homeland.
Enjoy the foliage views while up there in the Great Lakes of MI
Good context and history. I am surprised that the price is this low but it probably has to do with the fact that trump is a pathalogical liar and cannot be trusted. Still better than Kamala because she hasn't said much of anything about the gse's whereas at least trump tried to do something but failed. John Paulson will be treasury sec under trump if elected but just because he owns stock does not mean much in fact it is a negative because the press will claim cronyism. A lot will depend on who is fhfa director and I hope it is Calabria because he will finish the job. Higer capital means nothing in the context of release because capital rules can be changed.
We are one month from election day ... some past history and late night ramblings (no attempt here at clear organized exposition - it is what it is) ... Trump was elected President on Nov 8, 2016 ... below are some FnF data points related to that time period
- over the month of October 2016 till election day (Nov. 8th) Fannie traded between $1.65 to $1.88 volume only exceeded 3 million shares on 5 trading days in that period - the vast majority of those days it was 1 to 2 million shares
- the day after Trump was elected (Nov 9th) Fannie traded 28 million shares and jumped from $1.71 to $1.97
- the next trading day Fannie traded 36 million shares and jumped to $2.52
- over the 2 weeks of trading days from election day Nov 8th to Nov 18th Fannie traded over 218 million shares and closed at $3.13 at the end of that period
- on Nov 30th Fannie traded 79 million shares and closed at $4.49, the next day it reached an intraday high of $5/per share, but closed at $4.22 (I believe the $5 intraday high was the highest it's traded since then)
- Fannie closed the year (2016) at $3.9 on 12/30
- then the lawsuit losses started to pile up
If Trump is elected I see no reason why we should not have significant gains; however, I think they will be more tempered this time for many reasons - one of which will be Calabria continuing to open his big mouth. What is different this time around?
- the lamberth jury decision (offset by all the other court losses which so far justify the feds actions - BUT these actions have been justified in the name of c'ship NOT final or perpetual confiscation)
- Calabria's egregious capital rule (again offset by the Federal Reserve's recent suggestion that the tier with home loans for bank capital should likely be lightened - obviously, that's a paraphrasing, but still extremely positive)
- at least the appearance of organically built significant capital within the companies (even though it increases the liquidation preference - which I believe was actually put in place, like the capital rule to prevent premature escape while keeping the Feds in control)
- the "new" business model built on the guarantee fee unburdened by the huge mortgage portfolios
- there are others, but this is a good start ...
I think most of these offset one another enough to keep the speculation rich and healthy so as to see a fairly significant rise with a Trump win, but traders in this are much more jaded than before (imo) and will likely be ready to take profits at the drop of a hat ... in any case if the cheaters prevail all bets are off as to where we go ....
yes u certainly are, and some of the farts that own commons know nothing either, which is probably why the FFFreaks stick around.
Bipolar freakshow.
I’m starting to watch the boob tube only to get to sleep. Old movie I’ve seen a few times….lights out. Yup, I know a few like that out in Cali and Virginia, sold on Harris cause they like her looks…at least that’s the only thing I can understand cause she is clueless. Or they watch cnn or Whoopi the racist. Those guys are truly clueless, why, when u think u know more than u do, and stubbornly never analyze both sides and stay in a fog of lies, u ain’t coming out.
Hey Trunkmonk, if you're headed northern Michigan in two weeks you have a good chance for low 60"s during the day, maybe even a 70 day here and there, but nights are really barreling down cold. You'll be just in time to see some beautiful fall colors.
Do yourself a favor though and only watch news and none of the cable show stations, those are littered with continuous Cackles ads.garbage adds touting her big California experience because she was a nothing at her current VP job. She doen't have one ad that touts any accomplishment as VP! Yet these liberal voters are supporting her, and even though she wass appointed, installed and not elected! Blows the mind what Democrats practice and proclaim "Democracy" is. Stern and Donotunderstand want the best of both worlds and get caught up trying to defend the corruption, cover ups and incompetence going on now. They both use twisted logic to make themselves feel better because of their TDS.
Ill be in Michigan week after next, most likely for a week here and there. since i grew up in syracuse NY, I know how weather is up north. Im hoping it stays above 60 that week anyhow. maybe GSEs see blue skies by then, will help warm the chill. maybe all the sternisstupid's will be gone by then, lets hope the libs are gone after elections, otherwise we have to dig them out. their fav is calling everyone weird and hillbilly, when in fact everyone i know is well educated, my Boston U education aint nutin compared to libs free money from printing debt
I've got Trump Vance signs all over my corner property. Here in Michigan the Harris campaign has been running pure lies, it should be against the law some of the crapola ads she (they) run. Bold face lying in a campaign ad should be cause for banning that campaign from advertising in that market. Trump should be suing her campaign for defamation and election interference.
And yet he trolls again..what are you...5.
No one is interested in hearing what you have to comment on.
BBBBye
The country will survive no matter. We are in trouble when both parties agree to something in the name of security that's when rights get taken away easily and quickly like how they hid gse documents on national security grounds.
Is this mongo talking or the other bongo.
You are the freak bipolar disorder FREAKSHOW
alll eyes on North Carolina and the other affected regions ... government ineptitude, rampant corruption, and some election engineering - this is at a minimum being used as an October surprise ... troubled times ... what's left of this nation will not survive another democrat victory
This type of idiot isn’t welcomed and yet triggers everyone. I hope you’re right and DJT wins. I don’t like all of the govt censorship going on while colluding with the media.
I can’t imagine anything good happening with the GSEs otherwise.
I was confused, sounded like he was talking to himself. Or was he talkin about his leader Obama, who stole funds from GSEs to fund Obamacare. EvilStalkinAngryFreaks are everywhere. Obama regime plants these trolls everywhere. Their days are numbered, if Trump gets in or not. It’s already been written. It’s just one way will be much more diplomatic than the other.
Go play in another sandbox, f n troll
I can’t wait for Nov, a month to remember. U smell of sulfur, but u knew that.
FaFaFaFreaks come out of the cave again.
Quit fucking responding to me you harassing loser piece of scum. You are on ignore.
There must be other rocks for you to crawl under, troll.
