Tell me what you read to be the significance of this please.
I don't think we'll see $40.00. But I hope you are spot on and I'm wrong, wrong, wrong as hell.
I would figure closer to June 23. Things always take LONGER than estimated.
Read the first eight words of your post again ... CAREFULLY.
I disagree. I DON'T think it is. BUT ... I WANT to be wrong. I want you to be right! Although I'll never see $160 unless it hits overnight. I'd be too willing to live with anything north of $35 or $40
It might be noteworthy that US banks (those who are advocating most heavily against us) have not been terribly "Trump-Friendly". To put it bluntly, no US bank was willing to SNIFF a Trump loan when his main concern was his real estate portfolio. This is why his primary bank is Deutsche Bank.
Now, they would like his administration to act in their favor, and against GSE shareholders (a group that includes some of the earliest and largest supporters of his campaign)
But that would only be significant to us if Mr. Trump were the sort to be vindictive, and hold a grudge. [Cheshire Grin]
I think with the Confirmation news, now is a reasonable time to ask the question(s):
What does your current cost basis, and what does your "Sell Price Bell Curve" look like? By that I mean give me three numbers ...
Low sell price - or your low-end expectation
Middle of curve price - or your most likely high sell price
High-end sell price - or your wildly optimistic best case outcome
It's a "Last Gasparino" effort to tamp down our PPS.
Viet Nam tanked, Cohen is digging, and almost down to six feet. Distraction needed. We might see some action Thursday or Friday.
There was a point when Preferreds were safer, but with a smaller upside (we are probably STILL in that period). I don't begrudge the preferreds their safe profit. But for them, after the fact, to NOW decide that they want to elbow in and push the commons (who TOOK the greater risk) out of their reward is just asinine and criminal. Take your safe returns and be happy with your decision!!!
Anyone able to give us a snapshot of Level II this morning?
Rabbit ... meet Hare!
Which makes me wonder why in hell they do it. Baffled!
To b e fair, I don't find Mr. Bradford to be one of the three who seem to want to take from common shareholders. One of the real culprits posted the other.
I think about RuudG, ktomp19, and CommonsCancelled when I think about JPS holders who behave toxically toward common shareholders in an effort to advocate for JPS to get more than Par + Divis
This was me watching FNMA yesterday ...

Now DON'T fall of a cliff ... seven minutes baby!!!
Now THIS feels like a power Hour (well if it had volume)

Do you see, Bathboombs ... this is what I'm talking about!!
I have to agree with Embers. If I bought Preferreds, I'd be shooting for par + divies. That's not the case with many of them though. They want MORE, and the want more at the expense of the commons.
We were almost exactly here last Thursday and we were popping corks. We shot up to $2.05 early in the day and then we tumbled like Coach from Cheers on the stairs.
Will history repeat itself, or are there market makers who ARE controlling our price and don't want us over $2.00? Six and a half hours today will tell.
Again, you omit the words "JUST BEFORE".
The fact-checking would be "Partially true" at BEST because of those 2 words. Clearly you are making an implication that just is not true.
If that distinction were unimportant ... we could assume that Donald tRump is going to stop this shut down post-haste because just before taking office, tRump said ...
"I mean you just have a President that is not leading and not getting people into a room and not shouting, and cajoling, and laughing, and having a good time, and having a terrible time. But, you know, all of these different emotions are things you have to do but you have to get people in a room and you have to just make deals for the good of the country."
That would be an attempt to deceive, because certain conditions have changed in the interim.
I am continuously amused that people who advocate for the death of the GSEs is that so "greedy hedge funds" won't cash in. yet, if they kill the GSE's only the JPS gain any money. and the JPS are where those "greedy hedge funds" are primarily invested.If the GSEs are released at greatest benefit to the commons, it's small investors who largely get the win ... Americans who bet on the rule of law.
I prefer that the Senate not be paid!
I wasn't BSing. I was simply mistaken (and off by a factor of 10). As I have said on several occasions, I am old, and sometimes my memory fails me. I was going from memory and obviously mistaken.
I do not BS or attempt to manipulate people. I was merely thinking out loud.
I imagine we are ALL a little cranky with the current price action and all, but controlling ones emotions is always a good thing.
