Oh wow. Mr. Williams came early today.
Guys go to sleep and come back when Trump wins.
and they will have to increase cap rate to what ? 8% as they are taking more risk and will need to hold more capital, more than banks? banks basically unloading on gse's if this happens. another 100 years of conservatorship? i don't see this going through as fannie mae and freddie mac are deemed 'undercapitalized' , the reason for perpetual 16 year conservatorship, that would be another dereliction of duty by the conservator.
crazy idea. it will cause hyperinflation and fed will have to increase interest rates and older retirees will have even harder time making interest payments. suck every penny out of working class with more debt? modern day slavery in making.. a recipe for worst disaster than 2008 unless allowed to issue reverse mortgages.
most mortgages are below 3%, so why would your borrow at a rate higher than 7%?
just to get votes for the upcoming election and then we go into great depression? looks like it.
a solution: stop blackstone and other hedge funds from owning homes in every neighborhood and turning them around for rental at exponential prices. we know that 16 yr conservatorship with $1500 down to $0.40 is due to bank lobby that feed the fellow travelers.
re: FMNA - Raise the Ask
They will gladly pay it
how will fhfa allow this when they claim fannie and freddie are undercapitalized? can someone explain this?
this will make treasury and banks banks richer and consumers poor. no impact here as everything is swept. correct?
At $2 Million Per Minute, Treasuries Mint Cash Like Never Before
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-06/at-2-million-per-minute-treasuries-mint-cash-like-never-before?
Here I am to save the day! RALLY, RALLY, RALLY SALLY
if this was true, the pps won't be stuck , right? as they say follow the money
We are unable to breakthrough $1.50 for some strange reason. We need The TightCoil to help us.
I sort of read that differently. I figured they tap in to that $3T market then, at 4%, need another $120B saved in order to exit conservatorship. Felt like the Gov't finding a way to move the goal further out.
Captain TightCoil will we be visiting the moon today ? Please advise.
Great info post! Thanks for sharing! We should see some nice GREEN this week!
;)
IMO this has a real chance to happen due to the sheer size of $$$ involved. FJB is desperate to get the economy rolling, and stimulus this large is exactly what they need.
Thanks HappyAlways,
I have to give credit to Barron for his excellent knowledge and willingness to share it here. In addition thanks to Robert from yahoo board, Mr Howard and countless others on this board for contributing the truth. (not sure about Mr Howard anymore seems he’s given up caving in to the theft).
If you or anyone else care to send to all members of Congress, and the lawyers of all GSE related litigations in the form of a letter do it. Regards
I believe you actually didn't know.
You are speaking to a bunch of social rejects, societal freakshow, degenerates. They will never understand.
Are all you degenerates ready for an exciting week?
Analysis of the liquidity in FnF.
In the midst of a banking crisis caused by a liquidity and solvency crisis, it's worth having a look to this analysis posted every quarter since many years ago.
Fannie Mae has reduced its Restricted Cash in Q1 from $33B held since long time ago, to $21B, reinvested in Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell. This is why its Liquidity ratio increases from 3.5 to 3.8.
This analysis is also key if the shareholders are proposing a Leveraged Buyout of FnF.
A Liquidity ratio of 1 to cover a credit crunch event, is a normal ratio.
Then, their business requires more liquidity to repurchase delinquent loans from their MBS Trusts, that won't be recovered until the end of the Loan Modification trial period where, if it succeeded, the loans are bundled into MBS again (RPL), instead of being sold to Goldman Sachs & Co at a deep discount like nowadays, or, in NPL, the sale of the collateral after taking possession (taking into consideration the rebel states, where the courts delay the foreclosures).
Assuming that the Restricted Cash is pledged for the redemption of the JPS, we could be talking about $80B in Freddie Mac and $75B in Fannie Mae of spare Liquidity that can be monetized for the acquisition of the common stocks (the Private Equity firms use debt to acquire the companies and later they use the Assets to service the debt. In this case, due to spare Liquidity, they pay off the debt on day one).
With less Assets, FnF aren't leveraged if, at the same time, FnF redeem their JPS which are obligations (debentures recorded in Equity).

Rodney, thanks for the effort. It sums up the whole thing perfectly. It should be sent to all members of Congress, and the lawyers of all GSE related litigations in the form of a letter. And, possibly the main stream media may be interested in running a special programme. Thanks again, it must take you a lot of extra effort to come up with something in this detail.
It's funny that neither the low profile WSJ Editorial, always with the "taxpayer's risk" when it's null in FnF, as it only buys obligations SPS from companies that buy mortgages with maximum 80% LTV at origination, which took 5 and 6 years for FnF to pay them down (exception to the Restriction on Capital Distributions), respectively, and as a result of fabricated losses, nor Meredith Whitney, mention that the proposal by Freddie Mac is a Personal loan at a whopping 9.5% rate, and with the collateral valued at all time high.
Double risk increase.
Likely, this was the reason why the CEO of Freddie Mac, with 30+ years of experience in mortgage finance, resigned effective March 15th, before it was unveiled.
This product has nothing to do with a mortgage, like a cash-out refinancing as a result of refinancing the entire UPB of the mortgage when interest rates are low.
On the other hand, the shareholders proposed many years ago, that FnF could repurchase the second-lien mortgages that were a business stolen by the banks, as they used the collateral owned by FnF.
This collateral-sharing was the reason of the robo-signing case in 2009-2010, where the banks (mortgage servicers) wanted to foreclosure on fast, in order to protect their second-lien mortgages, disregarding that a first mortgage gets paid first.
It's estimated that currently, there are $2+ Trillion second-lien mortgages outstanding at low rates, with the collateral owned by FnF.
This could free up the battered balance sheets of the banks, that could start lending again or boost their sound condition, currently with hidden unrealized losses (unaccounted for in Equity, either with change in AOCI or fair value change reflected later in the Retained Earnings account).

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Committee
Committee Members
118th CONGRESS
The purpose of this letter is to bring attention to the Committee violations by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) violating of the Charter Act, and the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness act of 1992 (FHEFSSA); Both as amended by the HOUSING AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY ACT OF 2008, (HERA). The Charter Acts are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's enabling statutes. FHEFSSA and HERA are regulatory statutes, governing the companies' regulators. All are laws passed by Congress.
The conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has continued for over 15 years. I am not sure if Committee Members understand the history of the takeover of the companies and pray the Committee will of your clemency hear me in a few words.
Before the take down of the companies Treasury Secretary Paulson was unaware that the FHFA Regulator had sent both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac letters saying the companies were safe and sound and exceeded their regulatory capital requirements. Paulson told FHFA Director Lockhart that he had to change his agency’s posture on the two companies, and FHFA did exactly that. FHFA sent each company an extremely harsh mid-year review letter, and two days later, Paulson, Lockhart and Fed chairman Bernanke met with the companies’ CEO's and directors to tell them they had no choice but to agree to conservatorship.
When Paulson met with the directors of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to inform them of his intent to take over their companies, neither entity met any of the twelve conditions for conservatorship spelled out in the newly passed HERA legislation. Paulson since has admitted he took the companies over by threat.

APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENCY AS CONSERVATOR OR RECEIVER
Link: https://www.congress.gov/110/plaws/publ289/PLAW-110publ289.pdf
The FHFA freely admitted the companies were adequately capitalized.
SECOND QUARTER CAPITAL RESULTS
Minimum Capital
Fannie Mae’s FHFA-directed capital requirement on June 30, 2008 was $37.5 billion and its statutory minimum capital requirement was $32.6 billion. Fannie Mae’s core capital of $47.0 billion exceeded the FHFA-directed capital requirement by $9.4 billion.
Freddie Mac’s FHFA-directed capital requirement on June 30, 2008 was $34.5 billion and its statutory minimum capital requirement was $28.7 billion. Freddie Mac’s core capital of $37.1 billion exceeded the FHFA-directed minimum capital requirement by $2.7 billion.
Link: https://www.fhfa.gov/Media/PublicAffairs/Pages/FHFA-Announces-Suspension-of-Capital-Classifications-During-Conservatorship-and-Discloses-Minimum-and-RiskBased-Cap.aspx#:~:text=During%20the%20conservatorship%2C%20FHFA%20will%20not%20issue%20a,submit%20capital%20reports%20to%20FHFA%20during%20the%20conservatorship.
The FHFA forced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into a contract with the United States Treasury by Senior Preferred Stock. The Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement is not a law: The SPSPA is an illegal contract between Treasury and FHFA as conservator of the two companies. The Charter Act, FHEFSSA and HERA passed by Congress is the supreme law of the land that governs the two companies.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's regulatory guidelines would have prohibited the companies form paying dividends to the Treasury while severely under-capitalized, but the FHFA suspended those guidelines because the regulator wanted the companies to have to draw more senior preferred stock from the Treasury to pay the annual dividends in cash, ballooning their outstanding senior preferred stock and increase their required annual dividends. FHFA and its Director are executive branch entities and can not make changes to federal laws. Only Congress can change the law. Neither the Charter Act nor did HERA authorize the Treasury to charge a commitment fee.
When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the FHFA no emergency existed and the FHFA had no authority granted by Congress to take over the companies, no authority written in the Charter Act that gave the FHFA right to take down the companies.
Charter Act: SUBSECTION (g) TEMPORARY AUTHORITY OF TREASURY TO PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS AND SECURITIES; CONDITIONS.— EMERGENCY DETERMINATION REQUIRED. Page 16
Under this subsection no emergency existed.
This leads to the question, who authorized the appropriation of taxpayer debt to provide the 200 billion commitment? Certainly not Congress. Treasury took it upon themselves and authorized a 200 billion commitment available in exchange for One Million Shares (1,000,000) with an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Shares of senior equity illegal and unconstitutional.
Page 5
Link: https://www.fhfa.gov/Conservatorship/Documents/Senior-Preferred-Stock-Agree/FNM/SPSPA-amends/FNM-SPSPA_09-07-2008.pdf
Charter act prohibits the commitment fees (Seniors, warrants, variable liquidation preference). More importantly the actions of Treasury to appropriate 200 billion in taxpayer debt, take non regulatory control of the companies through the SPSPA (require Treasury permission at least 10 separate times) and ownership of more than 50% of the companies requires them under the GAO act and the CFO act to consolidate the GSEs onto the nations balance sheet. The fact that that hasn't happened means the Treasury has violated the 14th amendment to the Constitution by repudiating the 5 trillion plus in debt the Treasury has acquired through their actions since 2008. Their actions have resulted in a takings of the entire enterprise value of the formerly private companies. These actions have necessarily turned the GSEs back into agencies of the executive branch as they were originally created. This is the definition of a major question and also a separation of powers problem since Congress did not authorize the actions Treasury took and continues to take.
In addition 'Deferred Tax Assets' the Treasury forced the companies to write down and record these non-cash expenses making the companies appear bankrupted. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were no where near bankrupted.
Mr. Howard wrote below,
Quote: “Between the time Fannie and Freddie were put into conservatorship and the end of 2011, well over $300 billion in non-cash accounting expenses were recorded on their income statements. These non-cash expenses, most of which were discretionary, eliminated all of the Companies’ capital and forced them, together, to take $187 billion from Treasury. But because accelerated or exaggerated expenses cause losses that are only temporary, Fannie’s and Freddie’s non-cash losses began to reverse themselves in 2012. Coupled with profits resulting from a rebounding housing market, the reversal of these losses enabled both Companies to report in August 2012 sufficient second quarter income to not only pay their dividends to Treasury but also retain a total of $3.9 billion in capital. As soon as it became apparent that a large percentage of the non-cash accounting losses booked during the previous four years was about to come back into income, Treasury and FHFA entered into the Third Amendment to the PSPA. The Third Amendment substituted for the fixed dividend payment a requirement that all future earnings—including reversals of accounting-related expenses incurred earlier—be remitted to Treasury. From the time the Third Amendment took effect through the end of 2014, Fannie and Freddie paid Treasury $170 billion, $133 billion more than they would have owed absent the Amendment.” End of Quote
The United States was not obligated after 1968 to back debt of Fannie Mae. The United States Taxpayers became obligated when the government took over the two companies.
Originally, Fannie Mae had an explicit guarantee from the United States government; if the entity got into financial trouble the government promised to bail it out. This changed in 1968. Fannie Mae became a private stockholder owned company. Fannie Mae securities received no actual explicit or implicit government guarantee. This is clearly stated in the securities themselves, and in many public communications issued by Fannie Mae.
Quote: “Although we are a corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Government does not guarantee, directly or indirectly, our securities or other obligations. We are a stockholder-owned corporation, and our business is self-sustaining and funded exclusively with private capital. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and traded under the symbol “FNM.” Our debt securities are actively traded in the over-the-counter market.” End of Quote.

The Senior Preferred Stock, with a variable liquidation preference outlined in the SPSPA and its amendments and share certificates is a new product for the purposes of the Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 as amended by HERA.
Congress directed the Director of FHFA to apply the Administrative Procedures Act to the new products sold to Treasury. The FHFA did not follow the administrative procedures congress required in the plain language of the safety and soundness act.
The Director of FHFA as regulator violated the safety and soundness act and the administrative procedures act by not following the statutory duty to approve new products issued by the GSEs to Treasury for the purpose of stabilizing the secondary mortgage market.
The law required the publication in the federal register of the SPS with their variable rate liquidation preference tied to the commitment. It requires a public comment period, and a rule making process to make the SPS legal. It is the same law that required the capital rule. And the same law that required FHFA a year ago issue the new products law for MBS products. They have ignored this requirement for 15 years.
Director Lockhart Regulator, and Director Lockhart Conservator. Holding both positions as Regulator and Conservator; Conservator Lockhart is required by law to file notice to himself as Regulator.
The Safety and Soundness Act required Director Lockhart as regulator not conservator to approve a new product issued by Director Lockhart acting as conservator FHFA-C (SPS with variable liquidation Preference) to Treasury under the terms of the SPSPA for the purpose of carrying out the secondary mortgage market. He was required as regulator to file notice in the federal register, seek public comment and issue federal regulations for the new product we call the Senior Preferred shares sold to Treasury.

The CFO act requires the Treasury department based on published accounting standards to determine if their actions of funding through appropriations, ownership of 100% of the GSEs net worth and non-regulatory control of the GSEs through the SPSPA require the consolidation of the GSEs liabilities onto the nations balance sheet. Do the actions of Treasury under the SPSPA require such consolidation under the plain language of the Chief Financial Officers Act?
The Congressional Budget Office publication states, “Federal Government effective ownership of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”
The Enterprises have been Nationalized by the Government according to the CBO: The liabilities have not been added to the National Debt nor have the Shareholders been compensated by U.S. Law of the 5th Amendment.

IF THE FHFA / TREASURY are allowed to continue with the violations discussed in the above writing, and the illegal contract of the SPSPA agreement is allowed to stand the Committee should give consideration to the FHFA Breach of Contract Bad faith and Unfair Dealings actions of the government in litigation that took place in Judge Lamberth's Court. It took 8 random DC Jurors only 10 hours of deliberations to see right through the Government's false narratives.
It’s bad faith and unfair dealing when the Regulator is authorized to pay down the Senior Preferred Stock and sent the Net Worth without the pay down option. The FHFA Director doesn’t need the Treasury approval to pay down the Senior Preferred Stock the Director has the authority from Congress written in HERA:
HOUSING AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY ACT OF 2008
RESTRICTION ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS.— page 2731
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—A regulated entity shall make no capital distribution if, after making the distribution, the regulated entity would be undercapitalized. The exception.
Quote: “Page 2732
EXCEPTION.—Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Director may permit a regulated entity, to the extent appropriate or applicable, to repurchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire shares or ownership interests if the repurchase, redemption, retirement, or other acquisition— ‘‘(A) is made in connection with the issuance of additional shares or obligations of the regulated entity in at least an equivalent amount; and ‘‘(B) will reduce the financial obligations of the regulated entity or otherwise improve the financial condition of the entity.’’.

In essence allows the trustees of Fannie and Freddie to go to the market at any time to raise new capital, including new capital with lower dividend coupons, to buy back the Treasury’s senior preferred. Any loyal conservator of Fannie and Freddie would take advantage of this refinancing option to end the bailout arrangement, by paying off the senior preferred in full. The Treasury did not take a Perpetual Equity Investment in the enterprises, the Treasury stated a temporary investment period!
The calculation of the pay down of the liquidation preference of the Senior Preferred Stock, I am asking this committee to apply the law written in the HERA legislation passed by Congress.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15978NWfDcTtuClMBnwgWFmoPnwK94vWn/view
The liquidation preference has be paid and the Senior Preferred Stock should be canceled.
The law actually exists! FHFA and its Director are executive branch entities. They can not make changes to federal laws. Only Congress can change the law.
Therefore, the U.S. Congress did not give DeMarco the power to take all the future profits of their wards in conservatorship into perpetuity, thus Nationalizing the GSES, based on an Incidental Power in HERA: The Net Worth Sweep.
The U.S. Congress would have given the FHFA more explicit instructions to do so than merely drafting in the HERA to do whatever it feels is in its best interests. DeMarco, this non-elected bureaucrat, has been allowed to steal the companies for the Treasury.
The SCOTUS upholding the NWS does not change the fact the liquidation preference can be paid down and the Senior Preferred Stock redeemed under the terms of the law of HERA. The money kept by the Treasury by the NWS should be applied to principle and 10% interest and over payment should be returned to the companies. $301 billion is more than enough to pay the liquidation preference and redeem the Senior Preferred Stock.
I'll take ill equipped soldiers to our cause any day over well educated, knowledgeable defeatists.
We can go at this all night. Congressmen have NO power over Treasury or this process - NONE. ANYTHING you see in the media on ANY issue where the plebians or Congressmen appear to be making the decisions, running the show, influencing, or making any meaningful move on an issue is ONLY because it fits the narrative the higher powers are wanting behind the scenes. This is ONLY going to play out when whatever is going on in the background (economic, banking, financial, judicial, corruption, etc.) is resolved and the higher powers are ready to make that move. In the end if Treasury wants to screw shareholders they will do so and NO AMOUNT of lobbying Congress or the media will change that.
Do you know why? The media is run by the shadow powers (the same powers backing or hanging with Treasury) and they do NOT CARE about this issue. Do NOT fool yourself that the media is unaware, they media knows - every attempt by ANY journalist sympathetic to our cause has run its course without ANY success. Again, this is because the higher powers are running this process and they do NOT care about shareholders. The American people DO NOT CARE about this issue because it is above the paygrade - they are clueless and, in general, cannot be educated on it because they do NOT care and they do NOT have the bandwidth for it - Ukraine, Inflation on EVERYTHING, barely hanging on to jobs, caught up in socio-political nonsens of the day, and on and on and on.
In the meantime saying stupid shit only moves concern for shareholders further down the ladder rung and not a thing you or I say has any power to sway those who have no interest in being swayed. The deciding factors: banking, economic, funding, housing supply and affordability, judicial decisions (especially the jury decision) will in the end - when these finally become the overriding factors then Treasury (FHFA) will move.

"law and justice will win. always does."
- Yikes. You are ignoring a ton of history!
True. But knowing all the details and remaining quiet doesn't help. Add your voice with all the correct details. Contact the legislators and the media.
That’s true, but ya better have your facts in order. They don’t give a shit about theft in D.C. - especially if it were only 8000 victims when the thief is the govt - unless these 8000 were mega donors. Better to speak up knowing what you’re talking about, putting some intelligent force & appeal in your message and for Christ’s sake reference the masses of potential voters holding these shares.
Actually, we need more shareholders to speak up. Staying quite when you're being swindled makes you either a saint or a coward. Those who aren't saints, MAKE SOME NOISE!
You're certainly mean-spirited
and hostile
You don’t do ANYBODY ANY favors sending shit like that to these fraudsters. First, have your facts straight; second, find someone who can write beyond a rudimentary level (or use AI) these people live in the stratosphere and they’ll just blow you off as a greedy unsophisticated simpleton deserving of the Treasury shakedown. There are NOT just 8000 shareholders. The companies report what they know to be “registered” shareholders. Look that up; the overwhelming majority of shareholders are NOT registered in the sense of what the GSEs are reporting.

I just sent this note to McHenry:
Mr. McHenry
It’s close to a crime that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are still in Conservatorship, which has caused great financial distress to a great many shareholders, and left others in financial limbo. In total around 8000 shareholders
have been negatively affected by the Conservatorship.
when you have an option of 2 roads to travel at a turn, the most difficult, if the right one, should be taken. shareholders are on the right one following the law.
those taking the wrong road, consider themselves above the law:fellow travelers issue net worth sweep memo overnight, questions unanimous jury verdict, delay, delay, 16 yrs in making, hide stress test, considers fannie and freddie like a bank , a bank that keeps your cash and your savings account , and asking for an absurd capital level while doling out with other hand.
law and justice will win. always does. time. but time value of money will continue to erode this.
file it with sec if you haven't, better than posting here, can just copy and paste from many of the issues raised here.
i have been saying that they want all to go away
if true, it is bullish in itself. i am not sure though if sec can block any buyer (ftc can) and why the news isn't public. anyone can buy it if fhfa thinks they need ton of money and headed for receivership. so much balooney out there (and here)
Do you have a link for this ?
The night is darkest before dawn
SEC blocked Buffett and Munger from buying FnF.
Anticapitalism was summoned during the Senate hearing, organized by the chairman, senator Brown, and the Goldman Sachs alumni, Sandra Thompson.
ST was very interested in highlighting that only "mom-and-pop businessmen" invest in their Multifamily business (Apartment buildings for rentals), when their Charter Act doesn't distinguish between small and large investors, as long as the clause Credit Enhancement is upheld (currently violated with the CRTs, and before, with the PLMBSs).
In the Multifamily business, Freddie Mac, which is the lead player (Fannie Mae catched up in volume a few years ago), issues K-certificates, which are comprised of bonds guaranteed by other players (just like the Commingled securities in the single-family business since 2020), which complies with the number 3 in the Credit Enhancement clause.
The last turn was senator Brown, who used the Senate and his position as Chairman, to bring to the town square one of his fellow neighbors of his home town, accused of being a businessman, and he set him on fire, for all the world to see.
Clearly, they aimed to prevent FnF from being acquired by Private Equity firms.
The sellers of business to FnF can't become owners of FnF.
Neither the banks that originate mortgages, nor Warren Buffett who owns Clayton Homes, the largest builder of manufactured housing and modular homes in the United States.
A question of conflict of interests, regardless that their BODs include builders, required by law.
FnF include the acquisitions of mortgages secured by manufactured homes since 2018.
But I'm sure there are many other Private Equity firms willing to own FnF.
As long as they acquire our stocks at their fair value, either directly or through an intermediary (the Treasury department buys us out at the stocks' Book Value), I'm good with that.
The JPS aren't part of a takeover, as they are redeemed by FnF at their fair value of par value.
Finally, remember that their huge Other Investments Portfolios, the most liquid mortgage-related Investments and the swelled Restricted Cash in Fannie Mae ($33 billion), facilitate a Leveraged Buyout of FnF, using most of those assets to finance the acquisition.
No, scammer. Both ideas are written in different sentences, separated by a full stop.
Fannie Mae says that:
Available capital excludes the stated value of the senior preferred stock.
we had positive net worth under GAAP $82 billion
Deferred Tax Assets are deducted from capital to the extent they exceed 10% of common equity.
