Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[obiterdictum]

1. If you could answer your own question, why did you ask me to?

Socratic maieutics.

2. A large Wall Street player defined as a mutual fund vs. as a hedge fund bears scant little difference in a discussion of whether big money investors were seeking gains in Fanniegate litigation vs. small investors who were only looking to salvage their retirement savings.

A mutual found is not a single, animate person or a player. Mutual funds are open and sold publicly to all who can qualify and are quite commonly used as investment vehicles for retirement, pension and other purposes for literally thousands of people. Organizationally, hedge funds are limited to a small, usually restricted, number of select, accredited, wealthy investors.

3. What value would any such empirical observation contribute? I see none.

Facts versus fiction.

4. So?

?

5. You answered 2 of the 3 questions, yourself, so why ask them?

Socratic maieutics.

As for your question #3... "how many hedge funds have brought and paid for legal complaints before a US Court"...please specify the nature of all complaints about which you inquire, and all the US courts that you reference. All of each.
