Easy money from here if you've got deep pockets. Just a sliver of positive news and we're straight to $10+ again.

Mhmm..no "rope-a-dope" or "$7's" as you had so confidently predicted incoming. What say you lay low for a while my friend until you get your short disguised as a long credibility back or brush up on your fearmongering skills if it's not that? You appear out of nowhere as soon as this dropped a few bucks..many of us have been here for years and have seen it all mate.

Um no not necessarily. Fannie Mae has been stockpiling MBS's way before Trump ordered them to buy more..I think they started doing this aggressively since May of last year so why would they do that hm? Coupled with consistently strong earnings over the past 2 years or so months and a higher net worth makes them a lot more attractive for the IPO offering don't you think?

It'd be foolish to rule out this could all be just a prelude to the offering.

I think you're wrong. Sentiment and trend is your friend..too many positives in the last 6 months or so outweigh any potential negatives at this point and only a major negative catalyst will send this down to $5 and below.

Yawn. Like a broken record except your posts don't normally sound this desperate so that must be a good sign for us longs. I'd have thought at $5 you would have given up on the game but nope...$10+ and you're still harking on..have some self respect man.

I think that'll be the next catalyst and soon.

"Greedy investor"

You've use this term alot in your arguments over the years as if it only applies to those who are long on this stock.

You shorted this stock god knows how many times in the past 5-8 years we've all lost count here. Would you agree then you were also being 'greedy' or were you planning to give your profits away to some charity? Look we all realize you're hurting right now and mostly likely real bad but that was your ill informed choice, guess, luck whatever you want to call it.

The point being whether you short or long any stock you do it for one reason only-to make money. Whether it's for your own security or for those of us that have families, for their well being too.

So please in future think about who you label as a "greedy investor" and stop being so hypocritical.

Greystone Provides $11.7 Million in Fannie Mae DUS® Financing

Hopefully there's an uptrend for more multi-family financing will the recent 5% down loan change.

See how the shameless shorts and bitter bashers suddenly disappear. If you're easily swayed with their comments best put them on ignore in future and start paying attention to the experienced, wise and knowledgeable few we're lucky to have on these forums.

Mhm..he said the same thing on Dec 4 albeit in more detail.

That's right, this solid hold is just another buying opportunity for those with deep pockets before the next imminent catalyst. Both short and long term moving averages are looking swell at this point too and I wouldn't be surprised to see this go anywhere from $5.60-$12 in the next quarter.

MM manipulating your emotions and inducing panic as usual on a news day for weak hands assuming the price drop is based on negative news without doing any research of their own. There is nothing negative in this presentation so far for shareholders.

Hang on. MM's grabbing what they can before the next leg up. Support at 5.61. 5.49. 5.25. 4.98.

Today was fine. Volume fell with the price so it's all good. Open $6.60 - $6.80.? After that is anyone's guess but I think in a worse case scenario $7.05 might be the resistance if nothing new is discussed in the broadcast.

Answering Ten Key Questions About Conservatorship Exit

Former Freddie Mac CEO Donald H. Layton recently expressed his views on ending the converatorship:

https://furmancenter.org/thestoop/entry/the-gses-and-the-incoming-trump-administration-part-1-of-2-answering-ten-key-questions-about-conservatorship-exit

The gist I get from reading Parrot and Zandi's impicit guarantee argument is that it's less of a counter-argument and more of a concern and acknowledgement that Trump's already going ahead with the privatization as they please. I find it hard to believe this is the reason for the pullback today.

They also acknowledge that "given their much-improved capital position, their expanded line to Treasury, their more conservative underwriting standards, and stricter regulatory oversight, their standalone ratings this time around would be much higher than their stand-alone ratings of a decade ago, but at best they would likely be consistent with large SIFI banks"

FitchRatings don't sound as negative post-conservatorship.

When it's all said and done I think we're all good and it's just a waiting game now.

I don't know if these stats will get mentioned on the 16th.

FHFA's market estimates for Fannie and Freddie from 2025-2027.

Could be insitutional investors now that it's over $5.

I don't know, a short attack or sell off as soon as the timeline for privatization is announced? How much it drops is anyone's guess but I hope you're right and we won't see it drop below $4. I'm tired of seeing this stock see-saw or manipulated just like anyone else.

Wondering the same thing. Privatization won't happen until 2026 at the earliest even if Ackman's thesis is given the green light. I don't know if I should hold or sell and hope I can buy back in at $1, my average cost right now..?

Anyone care to comment on this article?

I've been holding common shares since 2009.

I think green once the shake n bake is over.

Looks like capitulation for now.

I've been lurking these forums for some time and noticed at any oppportunity you get you'll reiterate and then reiterate again and again that commons are toast. At times your response isn't even related to the subject matter so it seems unnatural..like you're on autopilot or being paid? I don't know if you're trying convince yourself or you have another agenda. Unless you really really do care about people losing their money?

I don't agree and neither disagree with your assumption but I do own common shares myself and I hope whatever people are holding, we all make something in the end especially in these hard times.

Relax..

Should stay in the .92 - .98 range for the next 4 business days.

Intrinsic value is now .90. Should hold firm at .81.

Therapy helps. Just saying.

I'm both perplexed and disappointed that we're not up by 20-30% this week given the possibility of positive news on the horizon. This is not like the Fannie I know.
