Any way of cashing in on the DTA's prior to corporate tax law changes?

The DTA will decrease because of corporate tax law changes, not because of a decline in foreclosures. Delinquency Rates remain relatively constant, with the exception of the after affects of recessions. Prior to the recession, Fannie Mae's Delinquency Rate was around 0.70%. For the last several years it's been in excess of 1.2%. It's been declining, but very minute.

I think I am getting what your saying. However you keep working with the glass half empty and not half full. The new income tax if as Trump originally suggested would cause growth the likes we haven't seen and that my friend means more profit and more room for DTAs advantage. Everything is going to work out. It best this way as the alternative isn't pretty.

I thought the reason the GSEs look to be in bad financial shape is because the government wasn't allowing them to take the DTAs so why are they so important now. When did we change back?
