Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Rodney5]

skeptic, you ask for a legitimate explanation. I have a theory. Freddie Mac common shares are in the count for the distribution of the settlement money. I wonder how many counterfeit shares are possibly outstanding and the powers that be don't know how to handle it without exposure.

The Emergency Order

On July 15th 2008, The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an
emergency order to enhance investor protections against "naked" short selling in the
securities of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and primary dealers at commercial and
investment banks.

The graph below of Freddie Mac demonstrates how the announcement of the
emergency rule had a dramatic impact upon securities lending activity – an impact
that all the SEC 19 shares underwent to a greater or lesser extent.
