Shareholders are stakeholders in a corporation, but stakeholders are not always shareholders. A shareholder owns part of a company through stock ownership, while a stakeholder is interested in the performance of a company for reasons other than just stock appreciation.

Sure I can say RELEASE.
I like the way you say that.
Did you know that?!

Hmm, Watts claiming that the GSEs have been reformed AFTER Ackman drops one of his lawsuits, Fannie and Freddie had huge profits and Cramer goes on TV talking about the housing industry in a positive light and dropping Fannie by name? I forgot to add in the lumping Dems took during this election cycle.

I am going with FnF being released from conservatorship soon as a strategic move by the Obama administration. Also, with the woman from the JP Morgan whistle blower story naming Eric Holder as not really wanting to go after the banksters like he should have, Holder leaving at this time is very interesting.

It's a wrap.

Glad to hear him say that for sure. Come on Mello yellow........release us please!

"These efforts are also consistent with the actions we are continuing to take to strengthen the financial position of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while they are in conservatorship, such as addressing guarantee fees, requiring the Enterprises to transfer significant credit risk to the private market, reducing their portfolio investments, and improving their servicing standards and loss mitigation options."

This statement tells me that Watt does not want to perpetuate conservatorship, but rather ensure that when they are released they will continue to remain profitable.
