Fannie Mae (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

I understand, it's just maddening that these two financial juggernauts (and our investments in them!) have been hamstrung under the governments pretenses that they are doing a "bailout" when in fact they are NATIONALIZING TWO PRIVATE CORPORATIONS! To date, the courts have given us ZERO relief, SM has effectively punted the ball, and the SCOTUS can rule however they want!

12+ years of a government imposed "conservatorship" and 8+ years of the net worth sweep has brought most investors to their wits ends!

Given this backdrop, I can understand how many of us long term stockholdes feel frustrated and perhaps defensive when others suggest that the relief that we all seek in the form of Justice and the Rule of Law and Remedies is only a 1.5% to 50% chance of occurring!

But then again, IF the SCOTUS rights the wrong here AND provides MEANINGFUL RELIEF, having an ownership stake in these two financial corporations for a buck or two a share could be epic!
