Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[contrarian bull]

I agree - no sweep this Friday. Normally a week or two before the NWS date the FHFA Table2 starts showing the upcoming NWS date as TBD but not this time.

For example according to the Internet Wayback Machine the date for the Q4 2018 sweep was added on December 13th as: TBD = to be determined but not later than 12/28/2018

I have never seen this document not show "TBD but not before" at least a week before the due date. Often 2 weeks. This is the first time no upcoming NWS date has been posted this close to the due date. This is... different.

Or maybe they are just snoozing at FHFA... forgot... focusing on other things...?

This reminds me of the quote by Phil Connors from the movie "Groundhog Day":

Phil: Something is... different.
Rita: Good or bad?
Phil: Anything different is good..

NO SWEEP!
