That decision has already been made :-)

Now is perfect time to fix F&F. Between the bailouts and the buydowns, the Treasury has spent over $6,000 Billion dollars ($6T) in the last few weeks. Forgiving a measly $200B for F&F right now would disappear into the background noise. Nobody would give it a second thought. Wouldn't be on the news.

My guess is they will forgive the seniors and warrants and give F&F enough cash to be released without them doing any sort of IPO. Probably in the next month or two. Should raise the common share price by $50 per share or so. Long before the end of the year or the election.

So let me get this straight. After 12 years of status (FNMA) quo during the financial boom times up until March the USG will decide now is the time to rectify the situation.
