Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Louie_Louie]

You do realize there are many stocks out there that pay no dividends and alot who have recently stopped dividend payments? If the GSE board eventually does a capital raise via more commons, a dividend is only an enticement, not a requirement. Most new IPO's do not pay a dividend until later down the road. Pref's thinking that their dividend or the common dividend is required to raise more capital is as nonsensical an issue as there ever was.
