Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[bobstruths]

Admitted, the subject matter is very complex but that is the beauty of having really good writers who can make the subject be understood. No doubt, the subject matter would have a very strong effect because it is a presidential election year. But also because it will put the names of the governments players right up on the TV screen for more than 300 million viewers to observe. It doesn't necessarily have to have exact explainations, the dialogue can have statements like "it is my understanding that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson presented the soon to be put in motion plan to force FnF into Conservatorship to a group of Estes Park investors with the suggestion that it would a very very profitable time to short FnF stock. And a few days thereafter in an interview on a TV Business show Paulson mentioned 5 times that Fannie and Freddie had been Nationalized."

If the writers thought it would be necessary, they could in a few words explain what shorting stocks is. Good writers know how to present such things.
