What a load of hooey!!!
That is just soooooo WONG!
There is no precedent for that in any court in the country. There is no legal basis for it.
For you to make a statement like that just makes you look like a scammer.
1100 at the ASK but hundreds of thousands trade at the ASK
With no increase in PPS.
Somebody's a-shortin' this pig.

Gee. And the PPS went up? Looks to me like nobody is selling here.
Well almost nobody. With buyers taking everything the shorters can dump plus everything the sellers can unload, it is looking like a firm bottom here.

CURL: Obama’s one achievement — outgolfing Tiger Woods
By Joseph Curl - - Wednesday, August 13, 2014
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
As Barack “Eldrick” Obama approaches his 200th round of golf since his election as president, here’s a fact to put that into perspective: Since January 2009, Tiger Woods has played 269 rounds of golf.
And Tiger, beleaguered by injury, is almost certainly done for the year. So that means the president, if he keeps up with his pace of play during his 15-day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard (a round a day) and his normal weekly round, will pass Tiger sometime next spring.
Think about that for a minute. The president of the U.S., juggling the American economy and the entire world’s problems — Iraq is in full meltdown, the Middle East is a powder keg, Russia is moving on Ukraine — has played golf nearly as much as a guy whose day job is playing golf.
Of course, the job of president is a tough one. Just look at how old and craggy the once-youngish Mr. Obama looks today, just days after his 53rd birthday. But let’s be brutally honest here: No one made him take the job: In fact, he fought viciously for the post — twice — to win it.
More, in his campaigning for the position, he vowed “I will not rest until ” well, fixing everything — even the rising sea levels. He pledged to work “tirelessly” until “every American who wants a job can find one,” that he “will not rest until we have fully recovered from this recession.”
Does “not resting” mean no vacations? Uh, it does if you listen to Candidate Obama himself: “If you seek that office, then you have to be prepared to give your life to it. Essentially the bargain that I think any president strikes with the American people is — you give me this office, and in turn, my fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone!”
But that was then. Mr. Obama is today up in Martha’s Vineyard, hobnobbing with the richest of the rich on his 15th vacation since taking office. This time, he’s staying in an 8,100-square-foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bath, $12 million house with an infinity pool and private beach. He may complain about the “One Percent,” but he doesn’t mind being one of them — as long as the American taxpayer is footing the bill.
Don’t you worry, America, he’s downsized this year from the 30-acre spread he has chosen in the past (which reportedly rented for $50,000 a week). Yes, it’s an election year, so he’s making a mighty sacrifice for you Americans.
Vice President Joseph R. Biden, meanwhile, is off to The Hamptons for his third vacation of the month, although his official public schedule says he’s going to the much less posh “Long Island, New York.” The Bidens — and what looks like quite a few extended family members — just recently finished a five-day vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Meanwhile, Hillary “We’re Broke” Clinton will be in both The Hamptons AND The Vineyard this month. With hubby Bubba, she’s plunked down $100,000 for a three-week rental in Amagansett, New York, and will jet over to The Vineyard for a bit of hobnobbery herself.
Before you think it’s all cake and ice cream, there is hardship on The Vineyard. “The water is still a little cold,” the president said Tuesday.
Just 40 percent of Americans approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Meanwhile, 54 percent disapprove. What’s more, a measly 36 percent of those polled approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing in the rest of the world. Six out of 10 Americans are unimpressed with his work on global affairs.
When Mr. Obama was running for office, he could foresee the effort necessary to fulfill the tasks — the presidency does take a 100 percent commitment, and he knew it. But now that he has a private 747, he’s off on vacation after vacation after vacation.
Pretty soon, though, he’ll be playing golf full time. The country — and the world — will be better off for it.

U.S. WAGES DOWN 23% SINCE 2008
U.S. jobs pay an average 23% less today than they did before the 2008 recession, according to a new report released on Monday by the United States Conference of Mayors.
In total, the report found $93 billion in lost wages.
Jobs lost during the recession paid an average $61,637. As of 2014, jobs in the same sectors paid an average of $47,171 annually.
"Under a similar analysis conducted by the Conference of Mayors during the 2001-2002 recession, the wage gap was only 12% compared to the current 23%--meaning the wage gap has nearly doubled from one recession to the next," stated the Conference of Mayors in a statement.
The report also found that 73% of metro area households earn salaries of less than $35,000 a year.
President Barack Obama, who is on a two-week vacation at Martha's Vineyard, has yet to comment on the dour economic findings.

Those are the FOIA logs for FNMA
It is a list of docs that have already been requested. Could be a gold mine. Could be crap.
Probably a mix with a jewel here and there. Anything you might find that seems to be pertinent should be posted to Tim Howard's blog.

I am trending away from the 6 monitor setups. That is a lot of equipment to keep running. I now advise using a 42 inch HDTV and size the windows to put as many as 6 at a time up on the screen. Even more if you want to.
This lowers the price of the computer since you will only need 1 video card.
So
The price of Beef, Pork, Fruit, Vegetables, and Dairy Products will go down in this country for a year.
How does that hurt me?
Buffettology
Buffett wants FNMA. He also wants majority ownership in his investments. His best case purchase is the warrants. He also is a businessman. He won't want FNMA hamstrung and in danger of collapse no matter how sweet the deal would be. He will structure it for maximum income. We would be the minority stockholders along for the ride.
He usually hates dividends since they just mean taxes on the income and then more taxes on the divi. He most likely will pass a resolution cancelling the divi and letting stock appreciation be the better result. We could be seeing $1000 per share a decade in the future and even more.
You've been here 10 years
You know the drill. Nothing of any significance is going to happen before Monday's status hearing. Lotta noise before then over a penny or three either way.
We have the Govt by the short hairs. Sweeney won't let them hide the evidence. This has a major chance of working out for our benefit big time. Congress is losing the grip of the big bankers on winding FnF down. Everything they try to start ends up being much more of a problem than just leaving it alone.
You should be planning your exit strategy if you are just in it for the launch. Myself, I see, in a couple years, annual dividends equal to today's purchase price or close to it.
Best case would be the courts ruling that most of the conservatorship is illegal, giving back the excess dividends, invalidating the Govt warrants and the Special preferreds. We could be looking at huge cap gains to over $200 share.
Most likely case would be that Buffett acquires the warrants, the govt sells him the preferreds too at a major discount. FNMA buys back a % of the shares from the warrants and all of the preferreds using a chunk of the refund of the sweep. We would be looking at $40 per share and $80 if buffett sells back 1/2. Annual dividends would be between 30% - 60% of today's common purchase price.
Buffett is happy. I am happy. Hopefully, the GOVT gets burned big time and never pulls this kind of stunt again.
Another good idea. (g)
Good idea
Just what is a company worth
That makes 3.7 X 4 = $14.8 billion a year base income and only has a billion or so shares outstanding?
10 x earnings? $140 per share?
20 x earnings? $280 per share?
What if they paid 1/2 in dividends or $7.40 divided by 8% = $92.50
What would Buffett make if he bought the warrants for $16 billion?
$1.48 x 4 billion shares = $5.9 billion per year in dividends.
I will be happy worrying about where to spend the money.
Anytime.
NEVER NEVER install a tool bar for any reason. That is what got you into this mess.
You have to look close because a lot of legitimate programs want to default install a tool bar of some kind. Always uncheck the tool bar option.
If, when you look at what is running on your machine you see a (many) tool bar, uninstall them all.
Glad you are back up and running.
