DPS, et al. - If I remember correctly you hold in the hood of 2m rv - an amazing chunk, honestly and ethically earned; legitimate jing in the jeans and a financial grand slam home run, which don't happen that many times in a lifetime and last much longer than a real home run. I congratulate you sir, and all of us. We shared a stubborn belief, or obsession, as you call it, over four years, as we stubbornly added to already dead money. Just for fun Im writing this in the past tense just to try success on like a prospective new blazer jacket. This was not so much a shot at the lottery, for me as a shot at the Brass Ring and superb long term investment in a vital service that gives everyone a fair shot at the American Dream. In large part it was peasants with pitchforks at the castle gate, for me. Our beautiful guaranteed reward system came too close to extinction. We must preserve and protect the 30 year fixed rate loan forever. It feels like those cards are off the table and the market senses it too - if this explodes on the upside its game, set, match for us believers. It feels like our flight is taxiing on the runway. Our hard ride may yet end well. Fannie and Freddie may stay intact and this fiasco actually end the way it should have. Again, we all know this could still get derailed at any point - another August 17th Massacre, for example. But chances are there is going to be a slew of gshr's soon. If so, good for all of us. It won't have been luck - obsession, is more like it. Though this is an 'ass before the cart' exercise, but I'm pretty sure I feel that big gushing sound off in the distance and getting louder, as a price vacuum the size of a hurricane is today beginning to be filled in, and, it appears, with huge breadth which will likely even grow further. Almost nothing can stop the momentum forward for the next few years for the FnF cars if the train stays on the track. Inflation is in the air, likely a good four or five years of it if national liquidity issues are resolved, as they likely will be. No one is going to bend shareholders over the proverbial stump, and its hard to conceive of a scenario for Fannie and Freddie that does not point to a steady flow of good news. May we all enter the land of the very, very liquid, soon!
