I agree but growth will be slower and maybe flat
I already planned on holding for the year to see what happens unless it started to make a drastic fall. Considering how bad the markets are today I think it's holding pretty well. I think this earning are gonna be good but now that Watt didn't increase fees the next earning we may not see the growth we're all use to and
some investors may not like that . Only time will tell .
Good luck to you too!
Markets are getting beat up, can't expect to much at the end of the week, maybe Monday .
hahaha!! Finally somebody with a sense of humor!
If you dish it out you have to take it! LOL!! How's today look I'm off of yesterday!
LOL!! Yea, all 100 shares, beats your 10 shares you bought with your wife's money!
My first post to fnma was before your alias was born. But hey you know it all! Hey I got a great idea, don't read or comment on my post!
New to the board? LOL!! By the way you don't know me either! I made a post people responded, either to my post or to someone who responded to my post in reference to my post!
I'm sure you didn't, you seem like somebody who needs to be told when to buy and sell!
What a slap in the face, the way they are trading this thing!
But that doesn't mean if I feel it's right , I won't change my mind and sell at a higher price then where it will fall and buy up more shares at a cheaper price! But I'll decide when and if I want to do that. It has nothing to do with fear, it's what is more logical at the time that counts!
What? You must be the reason the came up with the saying a fool and his money will soon part! I'm holding free shares for the long . I got my money out already.
This been getting beat up since the beginning of the week. But it is holding strong I agree!
Good news and price still goes down!
Ok now that news is better!
How are they gonna make money off the trading platform? What are the fees?
In just his third day on the job, Watt announced the decision to delay the increase in the fee that the two entities charge to guarantee mortgages, which outgoing director Edward DeMarco said was being used to "provide better protection of and return to taxpayers, who are providing the capital support that keeps these companies operating." DeMarco also noted that the increase of the fees was to also "encourage" more private capital to begin moving into the mortgage market
So Edward DeMarco didn't know what he was doing this whole time? LOL!! 2013 was a great year and 2014 is gonna be a lot slower for growth under Watt.
I'm. Holding my shares but at the same time I can see why others would sell. Investors want to see growth.
Did you read it? Two shifts

Mel Watt
When you consider that the FHFA oversees the GSEs of Fannie and Freddie as well as the 12 federal home loan banks that in total provide more than $5.5 trillion in funding in the mortgage market and to banks and other financial institutions, encouraging more private investment is undoubtedly a good thing.
About one week later, the FHFA also announced that Fannie Mae is close to the completion of its second Connecticut Avenue Securities, or C-deals, transaction, which effectively allows institutional investors to invest in the credit risk of mortgages that Fannie Mae retains on its books. This move essentially helps manage and transfer the risk posed to Fannie Mae by bringing in private investment.
Of the new transaction, Watt said, "This and other risk-sharing transactions undertaken by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provide valuable insight as to how to restore private sector participation in housing finance and reduce losses for taxpayers."
Why they matter
Notably absent from all of Watt's remarks in his first two weeks on the job is any language or consideration about what these moves may mean to the investors in the publicly traded preferred and common shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In fact, he cites the benefits the moves bring to the broader American public, taxpayers, and other private investors.
In the investor presentation on the C-deals transaction, Fannie Mae notes that it has five commitments, none of which relate to its investors:
Source: "Fannie Mae's Approach to Single-Family Credit Risk Management."
It is vital to remember that Fannie Mae noted in its most recent annual report, "Because we are in conservatorship, we are no longer managed with a strategy to maximize shareholder returns," and "every dollar of earnings that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac generate will be used to benefit taxpayers for their investment in those firms."
While it has only been two weeks, Watt is showing that the two entities are not suddenly going to be working for the benefit of shareholders, and anyone with an investment in the company should always keep that in mind.
One stock worth buying this year
There's a huge difference between a good stock and a stock that can make you rich, and there is no denying Fannie and Freddie had incredible runs in 2013. But there is one company that could be poised for a similar run in 2014. The Motley Fool's chief investment officer has selected his No. 1 stock for 2014, and it's one of those stocks that could make you rich.
