Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[DaJester]

That's not to say Fidelity is not targeting the GSEs to short. It's possible.

The only way I would know would be to allow them to borrow my shares and then see which ones get flagged (L) for on loan. Of course, I'm not willing to help the shorties so I'll never know. If anyone is part of Fidelity Stock lending program and sees that their FNMA/FMCC shares are on loan, please report back to the group.

Also makes me wonder - how would the jury award be treated for lent shares? Dividends get paid as "cash in-lieu" of the dividends if the borrowing period goes through the dividend date. I imagine they would have to pay out the damages award to the share lender as well. But I've never seen this situation before.
