Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[lumpina]

General Questions:

Well, here are my daily inquiries:
1. If the MMs, us, others, want the stock to rise and expect it to rise to, say $10, then why don't the MMs go ahead and LET IT RISE right now - take their money and we all walk away happily?
2. They seem to be keeping it around the $1.50 area - but why? If they really wanted to shake people out, they would take it down to the $1.00 area.

In other words, why are they delaying?

We all know the earnings next week will be great; if the MMs want to pile on shares before then, then take the price down even lower than it is now.

Any comments? (I'm showing my trading stock amateurism here)
