i think that he means that they will trade look they used too, like when they were 88 per share

Are they REALLY trading? As in a free and fair markets? Yeah. Yeah. I know one can buy and sell their stock. But is the price being artificially manipulated? Cuz the last 11 years sure seems tightly controlled by something other than "animal spirits". Maybe he means after commons are relisted they'll trade freely.

Relisting to NYSE is the keystone to liberating FnF from the criminals.

I found that strange as well. Possibly means uplisting. Only thing I could figure, or he misspoke.

“Will trade again” could mean, just from the perspective of considering how a lawyer might be ABLE to interpret those words, that he shares that trade in the future will not be the same shares as those that are trading today.

I’m not saying I believe that will happen. But parsing the words, it could mean something like that. Imagine hypothetically that they were able to, say, put the GSEs in conservatorship. Well, then they could spin off a new company with new shares, and the phrase “the shares will trade again” would, in hindsight, still make sense.
