There are many traders/HFs who are short FNMA and long FMCC. They expect the gap, which is currently 19 cents, to narrow to the historical price differential of 1 to 2 cents. These traders are not covering shorts because it doesn't hurt them if both go up (or both go down). They are not evil minded either. It's just a kind of risk free trade.
