I don't expect any price manipulation. I just want to see it processed. They have to pay $3.53, but
Ackman's motivation last year was just to get more shares, not flipping.
Just curious, will we see the swap processed on the 1st?
It's been a week since closing arguments with Greenberg and the gov. Wheeler said decision relatively soon. Is anyone familiar with Wheeler's time frame on decisions in the past?
@RudyHavenstein: I have no problem with the Fed being in charge of, say, clearing checks, but having academics try to micromanage a $17T economy is stupid.
Yes, we're beyond ripe! :) (Lamberth decision)
Any day from now on will be fine!! It will be interesting to see how they react to the request of the removal of "protected" status from the March 20 privilege log. Let's shine some light on it!
That's a good start! :)
OK, dovish. C'mon big hedgies, digest the news and buy up some stock! $$$Fannie, Freddie$$$ going up!!
Nice! It's good to hear what people are going to do with their growing pile of money. The universe is a vacuum. If you create a space, the space wants to fill. We just need to stop the Treasury from sucking the life out of these GSE's! :) I thought Johnson told Watt, if congress can't decide on reform to get together with Lew about release? Isn't 6 months later a good benchmark? What's holding Watt back now? He needs to tell Lew to stop the sweep (and Lew needs to do it!) and release.
yes EST
:) I'm just expecting boring until Fed statement released at 2. snoozeville!
2pm EST today FOMC statement
agreed

Maybe a little run up before earnings report too!

We're hitting them all right? Don't forget Hawaii. You can camp on the beach for free there to accommodate everyone. :) Along4 can do our lobster diving for us.
Could we wait, just one day, John Deere? :)
Fed meeting today and tomorrow, expecting low volume. After that, it's off to the races!
You always have a good outlook H! Careful, it might rub off on the rest of us!
Pershing Square will have a Q1 Investor Call in May, and will open up the call to Q&A. Details later :)

A closely watched index of U.S. housing prices showed increases picked up steam in 20 U.S. cities in February.
The S&P/Case-Shiller's 20-City Composite gained 5 percent year-over-year in February, compared with a 4.5 percent increase in January.
Denver led the gains with a 10-percent increase in home prices in the last 12 months, marking the first double-digit gain for the city since August 2013. San Francisco, where values appreciated 9.8 percent from February 2014, saw the largest acceleration in prices.

Only San Diego, Las Vegas, and Portland, OR saw the pace if increases slow from the previous year.
"Home prices continue to rise and outpace both inflation and wage gains," said David M. Blitzer, Managing Director and Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Home prices in all nine U.S. census divisions have increased for 34 consecutive months, according to S&P Case-Shiller's National Home Price Index.
Prices across the United States remain 10 percent below the housing peak in July 2006.
Thank you Hvpatel! Looking forward to reading it.
That's what I quickly surmised. Has anyone seen or heard the Q&A?

You can carry our luggage Along4. Fnma is going up! after Wednesday :)
Yo tambien, Miercoles! Me too Wednesday!
Sounds like we'll be having a Cancun party too! ¡Vamanos! Fannie, Freddie!
Cancun, right? As soon as this stock pops, I'll be taking a few trips there too, direct flight, 3 1/2 hours from Denver! C'mon Fannie, Pershing Square investor conference tomorrow! London is a few hours ahead, waiting for updates!
That sounds nice! I would need two cruises also, the first one to unwind from all this stress and the second one to enjoy!
Still low volume, IMO. Hard to make anything of it. I'm waiting for a chunk of funds to settle Wednesday, so selfishly, I don't mind! :)
Looks much better in the scribd app! Thanks Hvpatel :)
This was today. Demarco, Delaney, hmm, wonder what they talked about?...

Rebuilding Housing Finance: The Next Steps
How will housing finance evolve amid regulatory change and the challenges of achieving large-scale reform legislation? Incremental changes are taking place, with risk transfer transactions by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bringing some private capital back into housing finance, while new capital requirements for Private Mortgage Insurers (PMI) further protect taxpayers. Still, a revival of private label securitization for mortgages not guaranteed by taxpayers remains a work in progress. At the same time, policymakers have focused on expanding access to credit through approaches that include a return to mortgages with low down payments and reducing insurance premiums at FHA and possibly the GSEs. The housing finance system is thus evolving even while Fannie and Freddie remain linchpins of the system and increasingly consolidated as government-controlled entities. This panel will assess the current state of the housing finance system and the impact of evolutionary changes under way on the housing industry, home buyers, and taxpayers.
