Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[malebaboon]

Doesn't Watt speak at eleven? My thinking would be that Watt would be the one to announce any significant changes in 'the transition from conservatorship' and then the CEOs would speak and answer questions after lunch.

I think something more than the 'spigot opening' is also likely to be announced. I know that the community bankers (in a letter to Watt, in response to FHFA questionnaire) strongly encouraged GSE recapitalization and altering the third amendment to accomplish this.

It's only a few days to elections, Democrats likely to lose seats and probably senate, and Obama needs to help candidates where he can, and is unlikely to find Republicans receptive to his ideas on housing.

Also very strange trading day on Friday that I believe was due to news leak creating a sudden disorderly market on OTC. Very similar to Twittermeggadon meltdown, when OTC pulled the plug because of Fannie screaming early.

Today's action is MMs trying to get as many cheap shares as they can and create an orderly base for subsequent trading.

Your thoughts? Anyone?

All IMHO
