Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kthomp19]

I wish they would have wiped out shareholders in 2008.

I'm glad they didn't. If it wasn't for all the government malfeasance that so many like to endlessly complain about, I never would have had the opportunity to make this much money on this investment.

Pre conservatorship shareholders would have sued and won but companies still gone.

Not gone but nationalized. Still, I see your point.

I would have never bought. Imagine where my portfolio would be without this loss since 2009.

Ah, so you're underwater? That's hard to do if you really did buy in back in 2009.

We deserve this to end and get paid dividends, etc.

You certainly seem to be suffering the same fate as the Sears investor in The Zurich Axioms. She lost money in Sears stock and kept buying more and more, chasing it down, to "make her money back".

There is no such thing as "making your money back". Yes, you want to make money, but why does it have to come specifically from FnF common shares? Some cosmic sense of justice? It doesn't exist.
