Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

good point ... a common stock buy back program now would be brilliant (though hard to use earnings for that while the poor taxpayers are still "at risk") ... I also wonder ... when they get to the point of selling shares to raise additional capital, I wonder if they will have the option to just keeping building reserves through retained earnings and forgo the stock offering ... yes, that would take longer, and they would have to continue to pay g-fees, but that still might be far less expensive than selling stock (depending, of course, of where the pps is at that time)
